Here is another idea... what I posted earlier, to make new messages have different cell bgcolors and bold text. Here is a screen shot of what it loks like in in postlist collapsed...<br /><br />http://www.imcuniverse.com/images/imcforum2.gif<br /><br />If the thread is new or has new messages, the cell bgolors are different, controlled by a CSS class. Also, the text in those cells is bold.<br /><br />In postlist expanded, it looks like this:<br /><br />http://www.imcuniverse.com/images/imcforum.gif<br /><br />As you can see, only the individual new messages are marked as new...<br /><br />In showthreaded, it looks like this:<br /><br />http://www.imcuniverse.com/images/imcforum3.gif<br /><br />Again, only new messages are marked.<br /><br />Since this was done with 5.1.3, without the new sun icon column, the new images/icons/folders are still used. Don't know if they are really needed much with the alternate/bold cells... which (to me anyway) overshadow any difference in the icons.<br /><br />Also note that the alternating cell bgcolors are removed for this to work well. It could work with them, though... I just don't think it would look very good. Demonstrated on a simple color scheme, with white as the dark and light table colors in the CSS.<br /><br />So, what do you think? Should the 'new' images ([]http://www.wwwthreads.com/w3timages/new.gif[/]) be removed, and what about the 'new' folders/orange icons? I'm thinking of removing either one or both... not sure.<br /><br />Also, maybe use the same 'new' cell bgcolor in showflat?<br /><br />Any input?<br /><br />Muhammad Chishti<br />Creative dIRECTOR<br />[:white]http://www.imcuniverse.com</font color=white>
