help explain the red and yellow folders
1. What is the purpose of the red and yellow folders.

2. How do they really work (and does that match purpose)?

3. Why do I sometimes have red folders that I've been in (with n o updated post) and yellow folders (that hhave new posts, when I haven't been in the folder?)

1. Red folders mean new, unread posts. Yellow means that you've either read it or it's old.

2. Don't know.

3. I've seen this too-- what's up with that?

red folder: new posts since your last visit.
yellow posts, no new posts since your last visit, or new posts since your last visit, but then you read them, and directly reloaded the forum front page.

a) because you didn't reload the page, you clicked back or something -or- because you visited another forum (eg. read OT, go to Civ2 general, back to OT). I'm not sure on the details of this.
b) er... I never get this. Maybe because they had posts added to them after you read them, but you were still browsing other Poly forums, so that still counts as within the time of your last visit.

Red folders mean naughty threads, yellow folders mean nice threads.

From a functional/ergonomic point of view, they don't work right. Seems like a while ago somebody had a coding way to solve this. Maybe it would fit in nice with Mark's recent changes to the server post time ordering...

The red folders mean that the thread has new posts in it since you last visited Apolyton.

It's not functionally ergonimic. I see wierd things from opening multipel windows.

And it doesn't work exactly like that. Sometimes by reading the thread, it's turn it yellow. Other times not...

If you return to the forum idex page by using the back button, you go the version before you read the thread. If fo to it by link or you refresh it, you get the current version, with the folder yellow.

Still, doesn't seem to always work. Sometimes they stay red after I've been in them and refresh...

We should get the Civ2strat boys to do some testing...

Perhaps it has something to do with the settings of your browser...
