read thread color

[Hawk7173]

adding that code to the additional CSS template did not change anything.

Yeah, I only know basic CSS so I usually don't fool around with that stuff, but I tested this and it seems to work:

.threadbit .threadtitle a:link {
	color: #FF0000; // red for unread threads
}

.threadbit .threadtitle a:visited {
	color: #00FF00; // green for read threads
}

I managed to get unread posts to change by adding color: #660000; to the code below in threadlist.css

.threadbit .threadtitle_unread {
	font-weight: bold; color: #660000;
}

--------------- Added [DATE]1339777747[/DATE] at [TIME]1339777747[/TIME] ---------------

once a thread has been viewed, it reverts back to the default color. However, if a reply is made to the thread, it does not go back to unread. Should it?

Are you talking about the code I posted above? Hmm...yeah, it probably doesn't do what you want. I think that changes color based on whether or not the browser thinks you've visited the link before. So I guess you want to use .threadbit .threadtitle_unread { .. and .threadbit .threadtitle { ...

I think I'll leave it to cellarius or someone else that knows.


Edit: well, I did play around with it more and this seems to work (although I don't understand why):

.threadbit .threadtitle .threadtitle_unread {
	color: #FF0000;
}

.threadbit .threadtitle a {
	color: #00FF00;
}

I used an adaption to the first code you gave me.
