Add YEsterday/Today to MessageView

when you click on the Forums page, and even an individual Forum Category it shows the posts that are from TODAY in bold. However, once you click on an individual thread it only shows the date with no bold or anything. for those threads with just 3-6 posts on it thats ok. but when you have a thread that is 40+ long it would be nice to be able to see them more clearly by having them bolded and having them say TODAY just as the other two areas.

I concur, good idea.  If I could accept them I would accept this.

I already said something like this.  Alex says that it takes the .net feature to do that though.

This is what you meant? I had no idea what you were talking about ...

I think I can do this -- but is there a better way to indicate a new unread message?

Yah, it is like flagging.  Could we do the same with the 8 forums and make the outside border of a post you haven't read yet red?  That way you get caught up and if somebody put a message in the center of a thread a person could find it.

Having the system remember what posts you read is something I'm going to hold off since it requires a fairly big code change.

But, I will sooner add the Today/Yesterday on the forum posts. I do agree that it is hard to follow a long-running thread.
