Why does everything keep being purple?

[VictorianSqualor]

When I go onto threads I'm on or last 15 minutes normally they are only purple if I've read them since any new messages, now they are staying purple, even if they have twenty new messages.
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but pretty annoying.

Maybe this was what they were trying to fix......

Is it happening to everyone else too?

The thread titles are purple in threads I'm on, but not the posts I've previously clicked on in those threads which are usually purple.

It's still doing it!
I have to read the last posts to see if there has been anything new written.

Oi
MN.
Stop making silly places for flouncers and fix my thread titles!

Hi VS. What you describe is a side effect of some other quite major and necessary changes that were made recently. The side effect wasn't really intentional, though the changes were, if you see what I mean.

A link being purple or blue is actually a function of your browser. By that I mean that by default browsers show links that have been visited in purple and links that haven't been visited in blue. So really, what MN now does is the norm, whereas what it used to do is unusual. I do realise that's small consolation for you because you preferred how it used to be!

We might be able to do some work to try to get a "best of both worlds" solution, but it's quite a lot of work and there are a hundred things piled up on NikitaTech's desk right now (metaphorically at least - MNHQ have an aversion to paper). Could you do us a favour and try living with it for a while? If it's still cheesing you off in a month or so let us know and we can revisit it. Would that be okay?
