I'm using Firefox 2.0. I might have misunderstood what the request to change the color of links meant. My complaint (and actually it's a real complaint, not just something that is of transient annoyance) is the fact the thread titles do not change color after I've read them. I could have sworn it was changing to a lighter shade earlier today. It's certainly not now, and I closed FF and reopened it, thinking that might help. Not.
Am I the only person seeing this? Or, rather, not seeing this?
I am seeing exactly the same thing with Firefox 2.0. They are blue before reading them and blue after reading them. No visual difference between threads that have been read and those that have not. I'm not noticing any change in behavior in this area since the big switch yesterday.
EDIT: Right after I posted this I checked again, now I am seeing a color change.
After a bit more time looking at things, it's still not quite the same as it was before the big switch.
The color is now changing from blue to purple after reading a thread, but if someone posts new content to that thread it changes back to blue. So there is no visual way to differentiate threads that one has visited before but have new posts from threads that you have never visited.
In the past the purple color used to stick around even when new posts were added, but the "xx new" red tag would appear to let you know that there was new content in that previously read thread.
I don't view this as "fixed" yet. Am I missing something?
