Folder color when switching areas
 

Not a problem, I'm just curious:

When I enter my first FT area, say FT Miles, and pick a forum, I get yellow folders for those that have been changed since my last visit and blue for those that have not.

After I finish with FT miles and head over to FT travel, all the folders are blue - as if my last visit before this one was a minute ago.

When I return to FT miles the colors work right again.

This is not a big enough annoyance to be worth an effort to fix, but I'd like to know what the logic underneath is that makes it work this way.

It behaves all different kinds of way - but it seems to me that whichever forum you go to first shows correctly and the other shows everything is new.

I've finally adopted a method of going to FT Miles first, since that's where I read the most forums and therefore most want to differentiate new posts. Then when I flip over to FT Travel, I don't care so much that all the folders are yellow, since I only check 3 forums there. What continues to irritate me however, is that if I click on an external hyperlink within a thread on FT Miles, and then go back to the top page on FT Miles, now all the folders are white, indicating no new posts at all, and I can't tell what's new.

FWIW, it's been briefly discussed before:

Pam,

Thanks. Like most of us, I'm here more for the content than the color scheme!
