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. (

)

I believe that Mike said in another thread it's unlikely to use a text for that as it could be somehow complicated for translations (or for another reason, can't be sure).

Mike meant text within an image - I am talking about pure text that can be styled any way you like, and updated to any language or hidden to show a image via css.

HEY! That's my phone!

And here's one I found online of the iPhone - same exact concept (blue dot on left = unread)

 

[Enigma]

Here's my idea. Green dot on the left = unread. Chat bubble on the right = you have posted in the thread.

The function of the green dot could be further extended to serve as a button to mark the thread as read without having to open it. And the dot does not necessarily need to be green. Blue like on the iPhone may even look better.

Very good ideas.

I take it blue is posted in and green is posted in with new replies?

There is no way at present to tell from the thread list if you have posted in a thread.

My vote is for background-position:0px -6px; on unread.png

Ah yes, just realised it's for all new posts in all threads.

Maybe a different colour for threads you've posted in with new replies?
Avoids the need for an extra icon then.
If that is to implemented that is.

IMO it looks better in the mock-up where it's in line with the title.

Agreed, I also prefered the green color over the blue...

FYI, that's what wwed said, albeit in a different language.

Edit: Poof! it has been done.

I think if you do implement that, the speech balloon in the mock looks absolutely spot on.
