Hey all, I'll be ducking out for the weekend (will probably spend it shoveling snow 
), but keep the conversation going and I'll be back to check in on Monday.

A. If I'm understanding the question correctly, my previously-viewed posts are not in boldface while the New or Unread ones are bold. Sometimes.
@happy_pigeonI do see a very, very small difference regarding the bold titles. But the difference is not big enough. On the old forums, it was very clear which topic had a new post and which ones had not. And the topics were brought back on top when it had a new post in it. Is there a way to do that again and make the bold... bolder?

In order to see the difference between bolded, unread topics/threads and non-bold topics/threads, you must be logged into the account used to post. I checked last night. Without being logged into ebay, there was no way for me to discern which topics were new and which ones were not. Once I logged into ebay, it was clear which topics I had not read at all because they were boldface, and that included the ones with new posts on topics I had already read.

And is there any difference between a Question and a Discussion?
For the smaller member base in Canada, perhaps they should be amalgamated?
By questions, I guess you mean the Answer Centre? Yes and no, I suppose the Answer Centre is meant to be more action-oriented and easier to reference in the future with less of the surrounding discussion. The original intentions were very different, but in practice they're likely very similar

OK. I'm hearing that the experience wrt read/unread discussions and posts is very subtle and possibly not consistent across members. Let me look into it with Lithium.

I am always logged in. But the difference for me is barely noticeable.

Really? I checked this on the mobile version of ebay Community my iPad (I remove you saying your desktop was shot, that was you, right? or was it another user) and it was as discernible to me as it is on the desktop. I wonder if it's a browser-based experience. I'm using Safari. What browser do you use?
I use Chrome and this is what I see. It's pretty clear to me which topics do and don't have unread messages, though I think that "red bar" referenced earlier would be an even better way to help differentiate between topics.

Yes, that's how new versus previously-read content appears to me on the Home page too.
That 'red bar' is similar to what I see under the bell or notifications but my bar is black.
First of all, thank you for happy_pigeon's prompt responses to most member inputs and the humourous touches. It made reading the thread much more enjoyable.
Now here is my "concern" (not very concerning to me, just annoying)... Please feel free to view the two threads below, and you should be able to see what the exact problem is
