I don't know if I'm the only one here who experiences this, but I can't easily and quickly tell the difference between the new-post and the no-new-post indicators on the forum list. Those little black Ns are hard to notice and the animation stops after a few seconds. http://www.novas.biz/forums/olp/images/statusicon/forum_new.gif (no new) http://www.novas.biz/forums/olp/images/statusicon/forum_old.gif (new)

For me, it would be much easier to find new messages if the difference was more pronounced by a difference in color like most other disuccion forums use.

Frankly, just animating it isn't working for me. :( That's my only complaint with the entire site.

Thanks for listening.

Click on the new post button on navigation bar it brings up all unread (for you) new posts.

Well, if that's your only complaint, then I guess we better try fixing it up. :)

I modified the color of the "no new" to match the forum so it blends in.

hope that helps.

I saw the change and was wondering who had complained about it, shoulda known it would be Brent :D Actually it is much easier to pick out.

and little wiped out buildings as "no posts" :eek: :eek: :D

Perfect! Thank you very much. I had been using the New Posts button, but I much prefer to browse the forum list instead.

My only other complaint has to do with certain shifty (is that spelled right, I think that f needs to be a t ;)) personalities that hang around here.

When I'm right, I'm right. The hard part is getting you guys to realize it. :waving:
