Forum Question

[Baldilocks]

Since I don't see a specific forum area for forum and website related questions, I'll ask here.

Where is the setting that will allow all read messages to appear as non-bold? Makes it difficult see what I have read and haven't when both appear in bold characters.

This is how a topic appears when unread.

Hope this makes sense? Every other forum I have ever been an Admin or a member of, this is part of the software's feature set.

That's odd, the site is already displaying like that - see screenshot below. What browser are you using?

I'm using Chrome. It's def not displaying like that for me.

I am using Chrome as well. ?

Is anyone else having this issue with bolded/unbolded thread titles?

Admin... it displays perfectly for me as well.

I'm on tons of other XenForo type sites and this is the only one I have problems with. It's very odd.

I just checked on my iPhone and iPad in Safari and it's not displaying correctly there either.

Thanks for the feedback.

@Baldilocks have you tried clearing cache/cookies for the site?

Yes I have. Wouldn't explain why it's displaying incorrectly on my Apple devices as well as my Windows laptop.

Yes, true. Looking into this...

Do you have the "Mark Forums Read" button checked at the top of the page?

Yes, if he clicked that, then it would make sense how all threads were marked read (unbolded), at least until new posts are made.

 

[Baldilocks]

I did that. Still no dice.

 

[Baldilocks]

It's a mystery. I've logged out, cleared cache, cookies, etc. I've logged back in and still everything is bold -- even when I do click on "Mark all read"...nothing changes. I even logged in from a different device and still it's the same. I dunno. Guess I'll have to live with it.

Mark All Read will mark all posts/threads on the forum as you have already read them. Which means it UN-bolds everything.

It's the opposite of what you want to be doing.

No. I want to know when I have read something. As of right now everything stays bold after I read it, so I don't know what has been read. Clicking on Mark All Read changes nothing for me. Like I mentioned, it works fine for every other forum I am a member of. That's why I'm working on trying to figure out what's going on.

See below. I have read everything AND marked everything read. Still, everything is bold (and still in the list) like it hasn't been read at all.
