Re^11: Ability to mark specific "newest nodes" nodes as read (POC td.reply-new combined with :visited )

Something like this works for me

  
td.reply-new :link    { background-color: #F88 }
td.reply-new :visited    { background-color: #FFF }
[download]

It's only a rough demo, but meaningful enough IMHO.

YMMV! :)

I didn't say that :visited was not useful. I was saying that coloring/distinguishing unread thread comments does not meaningfully "play combined with :visited". They're almost entirely orthogonal.	[reply]

To avoid misunderstandings, did you try it? The fact that they are orthogonal means they can be combined to signal different states. Orthogonal doesn't mean exclusive. FWIW: I'm thinking about ways to apply it to my RAT view, (alas traffic is so low that it might not worth it ;) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
