Is there a new board weirdness?

None of my thread topics are bolded.  The ones that have new, unread posts on them used to be in bold type.

 

Anyone having this problem?  Is there  a way to fix it?

@faeriemoon.  This one is in bold print.  I've never figured out why some are and some are not.  This board keeps you on your toes; always something going awry.  Laugh a minute.

Yes!  From signing in to the posts, everything is messed up. The op's know about it and have reported it to their IT dept.

@faeriemoon,

I still see the unread topics in bold, and those I have read are not in bold text.

 

I hope you didn't inadvertently click/tap on the

"Mark all posts in Community as Read" 

feature.   

Doing so will cause them all to lose the bold text until additional, newer responses are added.

I see that now; I wonder if I did....

As @dooBdoo has pointed out, depending on how you have your settings, the threads you have not read should be bolded.  Those you have read will not be.

 

If the forums are working as they should, that is.  Right now, who knows?

If all of them are not in bold, that's probably the answer, @faeriemoon.

Your only recourse is to click "Mark All Posts in Community as New" which will cause all of them to revert to bold (until you read them)

or

do nothing and allow the new responses on threads gradually to re-bold the topic lines.

I'm sorry that happened -- I think those 2 features should be removed.  It's too easy to click/tap by mistake (speaking from experience🙃😉).

They updated the software version I would bet and that is always a kwap shoot! You always have things to fix.

They've tried to "update" something here, @Sooner, and it's not looking good...🙀  but I don't think this issue with the bold text is related to that unless other people start reporting the same thing. 
But who knows, could be yet another "new board weirdness." 
Definitely agree with the "kwap shoot" description!  It is, isn't it. (sigh)

@dooBdoo I think there may be some board weirdness because I just came back to my computer and everything was bolded. Then I clicked on another forum and everything was unbolded.  If it doesn't correct itself I'll mark everything as unread and start from scratch.  You're right, those features are kind of stupid, and they are definitely in a bad location.  Thanks for the help. Smiley Happy
