Site Suggestions (and Issues) Thread

Not really an issue, more a lesson. How do you get the thread title to appear in bold? :confused:

Don't read the last reply (or replies) in the thread. It'll stay in bold then, or at least for you.

Joking aside, I'm not sure if it is possible to format the text in thread titles. If it is, I'd prefer that people would refrain from doing so. Otherwise we'll soon see all kinds of bold and colored text in the "For Sale" and "Wanted" sections.

Yeah I see; John wrote this in the FAQ Thread:
The ‘thumbs up’ by the username in the participant list shows if the user(s) have read the last post in a conversation.

I my view, that gives an impression that it will be an automated thing. My experience is not the case with a current conversation that I am having, which has no thumbs up on a post, despite that post being read, and replied by the recipient. Following that reply from the recipient, I have sent follow up response, but as was my original question, I don't know if that subsequent message has been read yet.

The "thumbs up" is not in the post itself.

To the right of your conversation you have more info about the conversation itself. There you will see a thumbs up next to the username if that user has read the latest message you sent him/her.

For example : Incorrigible started a conversation with me yesterday. I'm not going to show the contents of our messages themselves, but here's a screenshot of the section on the right :

Incorrigible doesn't have a "thumbs up" next to his name, so he hasn't read my reply yet. As soon as he reads it, he will automatically get that "thumbs up" icon next to his name. If he then replies to me, he will not see that icon next to my name until I have read his message.

It's not an ideal solution, but it's what we have for now.
 
Ah, I got the wrong end of the stick for that.
Perhaps the icon could changed for a seen or read type of icon, rather than a Like icon.

On mobile, it's right at the bottom.
 
Regarding images, I don't seem to be able to click on an image someone has posted to enlarge it unless I am logged in.

Is this the same for everyone or is it maybe my choice of browser?

That's normal. Whenever I click on an image without being logged in, I'm redirected to a login page.

Ah I see now. I did previously notice the "Thumbs Up" symbol on the right there. However, this seems to have changed to a Green Tick over the last few days?

Here is a Conversation that I had with Ernie, which I have replied to. I assume that the absence of a Green Tick next to his name indicates that he hasn't read my reply yet?
