Sorry for dropping the ball, forum issue (for me)

[scrambler]

I am sorry for being away recently, I just realize that a feature I was relying on to answer the forum is no longer working for me….

When I open the forum I use to see in bold the threads I had not already looked at.

It seems this has stopped working, and posts are never showing in bold anymore making me think there is nothing new for me to look at….

By habit I would just open the forum, see no bold and assume there was nothing new and leave….

@weaver, was that feature removed or is broken?

Others, does that feature still works for you?

Thanks

Going through all the posts I missed, I see there was an announcement about a plugin breaking the forum that was probably the one doing that….

I hope @weaver finds a workaround to highlight unread post!

I really can’t tell easily, but it may be that the “read” bar is working with my repaired version of the broken plugin.

Because it was so hard, I thought my “fix” didn’t work.

@weaver The read / unread bar does help THANK YOU!

That said the contrast difference is not great between the read dark grey and the unread dark blue.

Can you make the read grey bar a more invisible color like light green or white for more difference, or even better transparent, so there is no bar for read, only for unread.

If this not an available setting, the CSS rule setting the read grey bar is

ul.mrbbp-hentry.mrbbp-read > li:first-child {
border-left: 5px solid #888 !important;
}

Making it

ul.mrbbp-hentry.mrbbp-read > li:first-child {
border-left: 5px solid transparent !important;
}

Or even just remove the bar for read thread with

ul.mrbbp-hentry.mrbbp-read > li:first-child {
border-left: none !important;
}

Did you create those rules via the debugger? I can’t get them to change the color. It is difficult for me to see, but as it stands now, are the read ones a shade of gray, while the unread are black?

[Weaver]

I think I got it now! I thought my fix had not worked, but that was because I actually couldn’t see the colors of the bars. Could make the unread bar reddish – but it is now #888888

Works 100% now. Clear as a bell to me.

Thanks so much!

[Weaver]

I know – it has been hard. Was so frustrated my fix did not work, or so I thought. It was apparently because I had tweaked the colors in the original forum read plugin, but when I fixed it, the original nearly identical colors came back. Since the original author no longer seems active, and since it does actually seem to work, I’ll probably submit it as a new WP plugin so others can get the read/unread capability. I felt nearly lost without it.

This is great, Thanks !

If you want to bring back the bold too, the rule below works for me in the developer tools

ul.mrbbp-hentry.mrbbp-unread a.bbp-topic-permalink {font-weight:bold !important;}
