Something wrong with this Forum display on web page?

I've noticed that the last several "unread" posts no longer show in blue as they once did. Using Microsoft's Explorer browser version 5.5 under Windows 98SE. The last several people that posted show, but not as new posts. Only way I can tell they are new posts is by the timestamp.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm beginning to wonder if there is some undetetected virus or trojan infecting my machine if I'm the only one having these weird problems. :-(

I began noticing that today as well. When I go to a message, I no longer drop onto the newest message fist. I drop onto the first message of the thread.

Maybe they upgraded the bulletin board software?

I still get the "unread" posts showing in blue. I'm using Explorer 5.5 and WinME.

I *do* like the change VF made to coming up onto the earliest post in a thread instead of the latest.

We're trying to bring you the best of both worlds....

Several users requested that we take them to the beginning of the thread, so that they wouldn't need to read backwards for context.

When we made the change, we also lost the back-to-blue color change to indicate unread messages. This was an unanticipated side effect that we've corrected.

Thanks for pointing this out.
