Can expanding a thread by the Thread Display option somehow force the loading of each post under it individually either as load into a borderless frame or whatever so that when I visit that top of the thread again, my browser would have marked the posts under it that I've loaded before as visited, thereby changing the color of the link? This way, only the posts that I did not expand before would not be highlighted.Or maybe go into a flat thread format.
Follow Ups:
Ah, yes, if you view the boards in the expanded thread mode, all messages that you've read should show up with visited links.
Not if I never individually vistited those threads before.If I only use expanded thread mode, I never visit the threads individually.
I am wondering if when I expand the thread, could the individual links be loaded to the browser so that is is recognized by my browser as visited link.
Ah, ok, I got it. No, sorry. The browser only sees one url.If you always view entire threads, then the only way to show you new threads would be to keep a cookie and do some processing based on the last visit.
