Because andrey intentionally changed them. :p
Yup indeed, I didn't just add the dots, but I actually remade all the icons for a cleaner and more consistent look.
(For example in the current set, the red icons are completely red, while the blue ones are only partly blue, which looks odd imho) :p

Coloured dots (y).
Indeed, I think they fit in better than the grey dots.

i think a fourth option would actually be good:

the same colourings as the bottom 2 styles, but with the black triangles from the first style.....i think that's a really neat and tidy symbol the whole black triangle business

All of the settings for the Latest Posts page are stored in a cookie called latestOptions: hidden forums, refresh, ignore last visit, bold subjects, and thread participation icons. If you delete the cookie, everything is back to default.

I could move the settings to a database field eventually, but using the cookie is easier for me, and the cookie works even for users who aren't logged in. :p

I tried italics and it looked awful... :tongue: But if you want to customize the text style for unread threads on the Latest Posts page, you can use Stylish or something with some CSS like this...

code:
.latest_thread .subject strong { font-weight:normal; font-style:italic; }

Ok thanks WDZ :)

Maybe you could use both... A cookie and the database, so if they aren't logged in it can use the cookie and vice versa :)

Done and done (yeah, I work slowly :tongue:).

The four boolean options I mentioned above will be stored in the DB now (using a bitfield) for registered users.
