Why are some posts bolded and others not?

We've made some pretty dramatic changes with the forum this past year, one important feature being that some topics are bolded in the topic index.

What does it mean?

Bolded topics serve 2 purposes, the first being: it's a new topic that you haven't read yet, and the second: there have been replies since you last read it.

This is a custom hack that Neowin installed into Invision Board* You will also notice that member name colors carry everywhere on the forum now, this makes it easier to see if a moderator has replied to a thread straight from the board index.

* Neowin does not share it's custom code, most if not all are readily available from Invision Modding plus we don't want to take any responsibility for "hacked code" being used on any site other than Neowin.

Not seeing the colored names (and I have done Ctrl+F5 as well as run Ccleaner).

I don't see the colored names too and the bold text (the one that described by the op), using Firefox 2.0.0.14 (and Vista Ultimate, if that matters somehow).

For Troubleshooting Purposes, I see the colors running Mac OS 10.5.3 and Safari 3.1.1 5525.20.

Is that an internal release or something?

Some builds are released to Apple Developers, some others are internal, yes. :)

You won't see them coloured under "Your Topics" you will need to visit the forums proper to do that.

It's a soon to be released update for Leopard. Working for Apple she has access to it earlier than us mere mortals.

edit: Ah, here we go. Found the problem. Seems like that two options only work under "Shift" forum theme.

On other themes, it's still not available.

since its been brought up i may as well post

don't most forums usually bold the text of new posts anyway? i would of expected IPB to have this "feature" from the very start i'm surprised it had to be "hacked" in

iim guessing it was a feature we added ourselves and the IPB added it in a new release as a standard feature. (although i could be wrong)

but that does seem to happen a lot with our custom hacks :p
