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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
