for some reason new post are not being highlighted, or bold or what ever it is this new board does to a thread when it has new posts. for the last week or two there has been no way to diferentiate between a topic with old posts and one that contains a new post. maybe we could get the color to change so it would be easier to tell if in fact it has been working?
thanks
Your most recent reply I found at the bottom of the list of replies. My replies are set up for "Oldest to Newest".
Something in the coding was changed so we are taken to the newest post at the bottom of the list. There is now a Black box saying: "Load previous replies". It looks like they are moving to some of what you asked for. 🙄
Hey All!
I just wanted to let you all know that earlier this week, we resolved this issue! You should once again see the title of posts that you have not read show up in a bold font!
As always, thank you again for your patience.

Evan, it's not resolved. None of the forums I regularly read show any change in the topic titles; they all remain in bold type even after I click on "Mark all as read".
We really need the title to stop being in bold type if there are no new replies to that topic, so we don't waste a bunch of time and clicks just to see it's the same old same old.
We also need the system to automatically take us to the newest reply in that topic, rather than make us scroll and scroll, looking for the last one we read. The old format did that for us and it was wonderful.
Please help out us old coots, so we don't get so frustrated that we give up and leave.
its still only half working, brand new topics and thoes that have replys to the main thread show up highlighted, but older posts with replys to different replies to the main topic don't show up as highlighted.
and they are not working again anywhere but in the comunity feed back forum..
Hey All,
StirCrazy thank you for bringing this up! This is my fault, and I am working to fix it now. While updating the community, I accidentally removed that feature that bolds new content. It should be back shortly, but I will update you when it is.
I also wanted to share again that new users commenting on old posts is a good thing. Hundreds of thousands of your old RV.net posts are read by new users each week, which shows how helpful the content is to a new audience. If they are commenting and asking questions on these posts, we should help them or teach them how to start a new conversation.
Thank you all again,

Oh sure way to go, making me thing I am just getting old and senile haha..
what about having a color is that possible? just makes it stand out a little more. I don't mind the old posts popping up, its just for the last bit I am not sure why LOL
Steve
Hahaha, I am sorry about that and take 100% of the blame, so it is not your age! 😂 StirCrazy
MNtundraRet I think color is a good idea as well. Would you do the title in a different color? Or something similar to the red bar next to new replies?

I should have pointed out that unsubscribing to a certain post would only keep myself from getting notified of new replies. It would not keep anyone else from seeing the post and all replies. I would still see the post here if it had new replies. That is if you get that function fixed. 😇
It would also be nice if on the main page for each section with each subject thread posted if they included when the last post was made. Then you could see when the thread was started and when the last reply was before opening the thread and scrolling to the last thread just to see that it isn't anything new (I like oldest to newest so I read posts in order).

If you remember, on the old RV.Net forum we used to easily able to unsubscribe to individual post/replies once we thought they were solved. When they transferred the data to here, all subscriptions were all opened again. That why we keep seeing replies to all our old posts. This is why it has been confusing for everyone.
ya that doesn't explain not being able to see notifications as new or not, I didn't unsubscribe from old posts anyways as some times there is good stuff that comes up. what give me the hard time is when they show up there but there is no difference so you have to go through every post. also the new board puts spicific replys right at the post instead of the end(or begining) so if it isn't "different" looking they are hard to find.
I've noticed the same thing, sometimes they change from bold to normal font, and sometimes not. Or maybe I just can't tell the difference because the font change is so slight?
ya I thought it was just a "maybe Im not noticing" issue at first, but I have spent the last couple days looking carfully. even just no I looked at a oldy that was dug up for no reason and the only way I would know it was a new post is from the date on the post. I cant see it being to hard to make all new topics bold with a colored font with the new software. also make the topic bold and colored if it has a new post inside it.
