Implemented Drop the "star" image for threads with new posts

[Enigma]

I feel the difference between bold thread titles and non-bold thread titles is enough to distinguish between threads that have new/unread posts in them. I would stop using the "star" image (

) for this purpose, and consider using it for a new purpose-- to designate "hot" threads (threads with lots of recent activity), like vB3 did with the normally blue thread icon to an orangish color. (

)

Geeze I can't believe it had to be pointed out to y'all.

smiling at [oh ok then]

just shows how unhelpful the icon was

 

[Ahmed]

I see it the icon has dropped completely. Let's see how it feels for a while

 

[Ahmed]

OK, I think the thread title when there is no new posts should a little bit more bright? It's a little bit difficult to recognize the read and unread threads.
Just my 2 cents.

 

[Umit]

difficult, need to pay attention to see read-unread, reminds me bbpress, tried to give some time to judge...

how about somethings like this:

It looks fine as is...although I wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like with a completely white background for unread posts.

Isn't it already?

looks like a light shade of blue (for all posts). But a solid white might make a big difference for threads with unread posts.

Not bad. I like it a lot. It's subtle, yet it clearly indicates where the unread posts are.

I agree...looks great to me

 

[Sami]

Not gonna miss them.

Same here, the style looks much cleaner while providing the same functionality.

It's #fcfcff which is almost white.

I can't see #ffffff looking any different.

look at the attachment above...there's a big difference.

 

[Paul B]

I can't see any difference.

The contrast on my monitor may be too high to show it.

 

[Floris]

Ugh, no image. Does not have my vote.

hmm...well, the only other suggestion I have would be to slightly darken the other posts background. I dunno, either way we're going to have people who don't like it.

Now we just need an image to signify whether or not we have posted in the thread. Perhaps the speech bubble, right-aligned?

Arrrghh!

No, please no images
