Titles: how come some are light face, some bold, some light then become bold?

I've noticed that some titles remain light face, then later become bold face. Some are alwsys bold face.

Is there some sort of alternate universe going on here?

It happens when you leave jouster and then come back to the website. That way you can tell which messages yoou have already looked at. Try it.

All titles of threads that are "stickied" (they always stay at top of forum) always appear in bold.

For the rest of the threads, any titles of threads where you have NOT read the thread yet, appear in bold.

Once a thread is read (opened), then the bold aspect of the title diasppears and the the title looks normal without an bold font.

If you want to quickly see just the NEW threads posted today only, look up in the very top right hand corner of the screen under the LOGIN box and see the drop down box called Quick Links. There's some very powerful (and quick) items there to help users get around.

One of those options is Today's Posts, which will show you ONLY posts made on this particular day. Look over to the left of Quick Links and you'll see New Posts, which is a little different. It's all posts that are NEW since the last time you logged on.

If you decide you want to mark all of the posts in all of the forums as READ, so that when you come back the next time you can check just for the new stuff, select Mark Forums Read under Quick Links. When you do that, ALL of your UNREAD (bold) threads will turn normal, except of course the "stickied" ones.

Here's a trick for those who prefer reading something like the old Jouster style of thread presentation. Look up to the right of any post which happens to be the FIRST one in any thread and see the the button called Display Modes ...

Click on it and test out the different looks to see if there's one you're more comfortable with than the default Linear Mode mode. :thup:

There's one that's very close to Jouster's style ... :)

BTW, have you guys discovered that On-line Live Chat system.;) Look up on the top bar beside the Amazon Store and click on it. It doesn't get used much, but I know some of the other forums hold weekly pre-arranged chat sessions where they invite guest speakers to go on-line to answer questions etc.
