Why do some posts appear in a blue/grey box, while most appear in a white box?

Is this a new development, or have I been totally oblivious?confused

I think you've been oblivious. :-)
There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

for me it is every other box is blue/gray or white.......i just thought it was to separate the posts so that they are easier to distinguish.

That's how it was for me on the old boards.  But, for example, on the Cait thread, maybe three post boxes are blue and the rest are white.

okay......so, i was talking about the main pages that lists the forum topics. once you are IN a thread i believe that all the posts you have previously read are in white and the one in blue/gray is the most recent post you have not yet read. once you have read it and go back into the thread it will be white like the others. i hope i made sense.LOL

I think something must be screwy with mine.  confusedIt doesn't seem to work that way for me regarding the posts I have read, not read, or responded to.  I can't figure it out.  There are random blue post boxes in threads I have read in their entirety.

Seems like they alternate like they did on the boards before this revamp only I think those were green and white, at least on my iPad.

Well mine are only gray but it's the same as sunshines for me.   Sometimes it doesn't show that I've read a thread tho.
