I am still getting a random mix of black and blue threads regardless whether the thread was already read or even when I was the last poster. I wonder whether that is only on my system or a more general problem.

A few weeks ago I understood that the forum is getting fixed. Is that still ongoing.

I am having the same issue. I think it is just the site maintenance messing with it.

I'm also getting the mix. It seems to work correctly for a while, then it goes wonky again.

It has not worked for me lately. You must go to the thread and return immediately for it to turn black. It is not remembered from one session to another. It used to remember over different computers. I miss it. But, it may be that they are expending all their efforts on the new forum and feel it would be a waste to fix this one since it will be replaced soon.

No probs at all, as long as you click on topic title, then go back. If you have just posted on that thread, then repeat my first.

Don't get any black colour change unless I hover over it.

Since a new forum is pending, I'm not losing sleep over it.

LH is correct, at least here on my machines. If the topic has multiple pages and you just click on say page two, color won't change. You have to still click on the main topic.

LF. I agree with you.

Hmm, that's really ease of use. Reminds me of my first computer experience in the 50s. WHY CAN'T THEY FIX THE DAMN THING.
