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).

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

What about us people, that can't see the bold text and colored names in the forum section?

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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
