read thread color

[Hawk7173]

Is there a setting that allows read thread colors to be changed so that a member sees right away that they have already read that thread?

Thats difficult because in your session unread threads appear in bold and when read are unbolded, however when you finish your session all threads are marked read or unbolded.

I was on another vBulletin forum that once a thread was read, the title changed colors, so there must be something here that allows that to happen. I just can't seeem to find it via the search function here.

I haven't tried it, but in the template [S]threadbit.css[/S] threadlist.css (Under the CSS Templates group) is this:

.threadbit .threadtitle_unread {
	font-weight: bold;
}

so maybe if you added a color there it might do what you want.

hmmmmmm I don't seem to have a threadbit.css template in CSS templates

My mistake - it's threadlist.css. But it's just as well because I think what you really want to do it edit additional.css, paste that in there, and change it to what you want (and it will override the code in threadbit.css).

I also realized that (assuming it works) this will change the look of unread threads which is the oppposite of what you described. But I think you can look in threadlist.css and find how the color is set you can work it out. (Or maybe someone else will know - or I can try to figure it out tomorrow).

I'll take a crack at it.... I'll copy the template in case something screwy goes on before I change anything...LOL

Thanks for the help.

tried adding color to that piece and nothing changed.....oh well

To change the color you need to use

.threadbit .threadtitle_unread a {
	color: #123456;
}

(The threadtitles are links, and the link color is used unless overridden)

Thank you.

What would I use for read threads?

[kh99]

Try .threadbit .threadtitle a { ...
