The old software had bold blue for unread and not-bold blue for read threads.
That worked well for me... YMMV. When I load the active topics page, it's a sea of bright red.
If there is a way for me to change that, please let me know.
Otherwise, the look and fee of the new software is great.
Still not had much time to look for new features... Maybe next week.
Thanks to Charles for all the effort!
