Reading the Phorum Issue

In the past, when I open the web page and look for new posts (in bold) I read the new posts and close the thread. At that point the bold title would return to the normal print. However, now, the bold title remains bold after closing. Just me, or is it an issue for all?.

If I refresh the tab after reading something the bold goes back to normal. I recall people discussing this a number of years ago. I think the recommendation was to clear your browser cookies and see if that helps.

If you refresh the page after reading the active threads, you should see the bold go away. It's your browser caching the old page, not a problem with the forum.

On Windows 10 if you clear your cache and get rid of all cookies once in a while as they recommend you may have to log in again nest time you go to the site,

I think refreshing the page is the answer for the moment. It works. Thanks for the suggestion.

It would also be nice if replied to topics bumped up to front page.

I suggested that a few years ago and hit a road block. Maybe there is a change of heart.

These are all good suggestions but the problem is the forum software is quite old and doesn't have a lot of features we'd all like to have. It's vintage early 2000s stuff and really not up to modern standards. An upgrade is in the plans, but as you might imagine that's not a simple (or cheap) project. For now, we're working on modernizing the main site, and that will happen soon. Once that's done, we will tackle the forum.
