As a member of Bogleheads and this forum, I have found a few features which differ between the two forums. Most are small and meaningless, but there is one which has caused me a little inconvenience over the years.
When I click on a sub-forum, such as this one, any thread which I have not viewed before is shown in bold, while any I have viewed before are shown in a lighter font. But, when I click on "New Posts," it shows only the ones I haven't viewed yet. Therefore, if I viewed a thread but wanted to return to it later on to read it some more, or to post a reply, I have to remember its subject or title or which sub-forum it was in so I can find it again. That can be no small feat if I haven't posted to it before (if I had, I could find it through a simple Search function).
Bogleheads keeps a previously viewed thread in its list of New Posts but unbolds the read/unread icon, like what you do here when viewing the sub-forum list. Is there any way that policy can be extended to the "New Posts" list so the thread title won't disappear simply after the thread has been read?
