I would like to enter a request for a small change in the forum's colour scheme. I would like visited links to be a slightly different colour to un-visited links. I know that if I reload the page, the thread titles will change from bold to non-bold, but I don't really like reloading the page every time. The way I tend to read the forums is that I get a page of thread titles, and open the interesting threads in a new tab, read the thread, then close that tab returning to the thread list. It can ve very difficult on return to see how far down the page I have got. I attaach an example screenshot. It is difficult to see the last thread I visited in that list (it still has the dotted line round it) and impossible to see which other threads on that page I have visited.
Yes I could hit the refresh button to reload the page, and then the visited threads would appear non-bold, but when the forum server already often takes 10-20 seconds to return a page, the server could do without the extra load, and I could do without the extra waiting.
I think that the colour of visited links can be set by the web server as a property of the page. If so, could you arrange to make visited links a slightly different colour (brown perhaps)? Not drastically different, but enough that you can see where you have already been?
