Is it just me or is this happening to everybody?

When I click on Active threads I get proper old-fashioned headings in either purple or blue (depending if I've clicked on them before or not)

But when I click on Threads I'm On, everything is in that odd turquoisey blue - no purples - so is it just me, or is MN wrong today???

Active was weird earlier on today.

All but two of my Threads I'm On are purple - I think those two are ones that I've only opened on my iPhone - I'm currently on my laptop.

I'm on New, btw - are you Classic?

RustyBear : It might just be that you've switched to your laptop.

Can't check it out for you right now but have vague memories of threads I'd opened on my computer at home not being purple when I looked at them on my laptop at work...

RustyBear · 29/08/2009 14:45

Yes, that's what I meant, really....

Though, actually, when I looked on my iPhone, none of them were purple, not even the ones I knew I'd looked at on the phone, until I opened it again, then it went purple. I assumed that was a Safari/iPhone thing, rather than a MN thing.

Thanks, PT, that's how it is for me too! (Always nice to know you're not going mad )

Hello, hello - is this still happening?

Or is it all better now?

taht was happening to me - noticed it a few days ago when I refreshed active conversations and suddenly everything was blue. Will just go and check them both out.

LadyStealthPolarBear · 01/09/2009 14:16

yes, active conversations is back to normal but Threads I'm On is all blue!

Thanks for your replies.

So....

Active Convos is OK for most people (anyone got a problem with Active Convos?)

But Threads I'm On is not going changing colour.

Is that right?

By the way, BigTech told me last time I poked my head in the Shed about this that a thread in Threads I'm On will only change colour if you've posted on it. If it's a thread you STARTED but haven't posted on since, the colour doesn't change.

Seemed quite logical to him

ShowOfHands · 01/09/2009 15:49

I mentioned the other day when active was up the swanny that 'threads I'm on' was playing up and was roundly ignored.

Still is. Blue, blue, blue.

Tsk.

Sorry, ShowofHands, we didn't mean to ignore you.

Techs in Shed are a bit puzzled about this. They say that you know you're on all the threads in Threads I'm On, so why would you want them in a different colour?

NB it's not the thread titles in Threads I'm On we want to change colour (because, as you so wisely point out , we know we're on them!) - it's the posts we've clicked on which need to change colour, so we know where we were up to (which is just another way of saying what PrincessT said, but more explicitly)(I hope)

Gotcha!

Will brave another visit to the Shed...

LadyStealthPolarBear · 01/09/2009 17:37

yeah it just looks different - for me it was a screen refresh when everything went blue. And we don't like change

Hi folks,
This is a bit of a mystery but BigTech's on it - i.e. it's moved from his regular to do list to his Urgent to do list!

We'll keep you posted.

meep · 22/09/2009 18:54

any news on this - mine is still all blue!
