Newb Question having to do with "my forums"

[Merovingian]

Sounds stupid but what is the significants of blue vs brown topics in the my forums window? Is there a way to create a "favorites" list to track the forums (for updates) you want to follow whether or not your want to post in them? =) Thank you!

Blue - new posts since your last visit.
Yellow - no new posts

To add a thread to your favorites, click the star at the top of the thread (It's on the right side of the screen, just above the OP). It will then be listed under favorites in "My Forums", as well as in the sidebar menu.

Since the last visit? So I have to log out because it doesn't seem to match the last time I checked the post. Thanks for the input though I'll try to figure it out.

Favorites, yes awesome thanks man!

Many things don't work here as you'd expect. You'll get used to it.

Logging out works. Or you need to close you browser and reopen it. If you don't do that then you "never left". The website isn't psychic. There are only so many clues that it can use to tell when you stop visiting. It's not like there's a weight sensor embedded in your chair so it can tell when you get up and leave.
