OK having read through the last
forum layout thread that has been going on. I noticed something that I was a good idea and something I had just not done. So this morning when I got to work I decided I would implement a colour coding system for unread threads, replies and follow-ups. This coding is based on your last login time and will highlight all threads, replies and follow-ups that have been received since your last login time.
I have held the colour coding to be tones of the already used colours so see what you think. Already I can see it is a great idea and basically eliminates the requirement to use the
My Home updates since last login as they are now already highlighted.
It does make accessing the new data much quicker and it is now easy to find that follow-up that has appeared further up the list. Your comments in action.
Enjoy
David

The colour coding is a great idea, but
the black on blue is OK, the black on peach is OK, but black on
grey suffers.
The eye does not see black on
grey anywhere near as
well as the others....contrast suffers....people with certain vision issues may find it not so good and it will also suffer under certain lighting situations.
Pick another colour appart from
grey.......

Black on
grey all I see is dark grey/light
grey and have no idea which is meant to represent which? Dark means already read? and light means to be read?
Oh dear more to catch up with :))
