user interface anomalies
When I select Mark This Forum Read from the Forum Tools dropdown menu for this forum (Technical Support and Feedback), the unread threads remain in bold. The threads are actually marked as read, as indicated by going to MyFlyerTalk, refreshing the screen, and seeing that the globe with the airplane now indicates there are no unread posts in Technical Support and Feedback, but until yesterday, the thread titles in bold would become plain text when I chose Mark This Forum Read.
The reason I need to mark threads as read in the forum window rather than at MyFlyerTalk is that double-clicking the globe with the airplane, which marks the forum as read for every other forum to which I have subscribed, does nothing with Technical Support and Feedback. (I haven't actually checked that in the past several days, but I mentioned it in at least two threads in this forum and nothing was done, so I assume the behavior has not been corrected.) Both these behaviors are inconsistent with what is, in my experience, typical on FlyerTalk. They are cosmetic and it seems like they should be fixed. |
Agreed, I've noticed this for a few days now across a few forums. The "go to first new post" indicator disappears but the thread title font remains bold,

Light or dark mode? Mobile skin or Full Site?
Sorry for the lack of information. It's easy to forget that not everyone uses the same options that I do (even after the discussion about Dark mode). |

No worries. For what it's worth, it does seem that the font changes if you refresh the page.

[1] I have not specifically tested in the Tech Support forum, but have observed and/or replicated in others in both light/dark mode [2] which, when clicked on, can be used as a quick way to jump to the first unread post in that thread |

Another way you can tell that they have been marked as read without having to refresh, at least in other forums[1] is that the down arrow or chevron indicator in front of the thread title[2] disappears even though the font remains bold. It's subtle, but it's something.

Thank you for fixing the issue of the thread title remaining bold even after marking all threads as read.

I now find [Mac/Safari] that "Mark This Forum Read" button is working. Was that the latest Mac update? No idea, but glad to see it working again.
