Forum:How does this forum work?

Yesterday I checked most of the topics in this forum. Today I have all topics marks unread. Is there a reason for this?

Also, why some of the threads are bold with the dialog box and some not? 16:34, August 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not sure about the first part, but ones that are not bold have not been edited for a certain amount of time. I am not sure the time before they "un-bold".  DaRanger  |  Talk to Me  |   What I've Done  | 16:48,8/24/2011


 * Bold threads are the unvisited ones. However, I believe Chrome and Safari will not let you set anything other than color for, for some baseless security reason. I'm not quite sure what the mechanic is for the ones that are unbolded, depending on the browser it seems to change at will.


 * Ah, I should have said I'm using Firefox 6.0 and that I have CSS to change the color of the visited links a:visited {color:purple;}
 * The explanation about bold/non bold makes sense, the ones older than 7 days are not bold.
 * But the annoying part is the other one, the pages sometimes are shown as not visited; this happens once in a while and forces me to open a lot of links that I've read, even the history shows no change in the page.

 * Firefox implemented a security mechanism in FF4, I believe that prevents the forum extension from updating the visited status of forum entries. This is what Wikia said, at least, when I asked them a few months back. I verifed FF3 still works. Wikia couldn't figure out how to make it work again and apparently it is extremely low on their priority list. I think they're hoping the extensions will get updated with a fix and they'll just upgrade to it. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 26 Aug 2011 9:15 PM Pacific
