    I'm assuming this is a bug, so I'm posting it here instead of in the suggestions thread. I'm pretty certain I've seen several conflicting posts about this in the Q&A threads, but I'm definitely not seeing any change in the font of the thread title when new posts are available to be seen.

    This isn't as big of a deal any longer, now that we can see who/when the last post was made in a thread, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

    To me a visual indication in the list of My Threads is very important. And a filter of Unread with new messages (Unread threads filter will not apply to 'My Threads' view).

    I also noticed that all threads in "My Threads" seem to be bold, so perhaps this is a bug.

    Here's a perfect example of why I need to see who proposed an answer. I just got a notification that an answer was proposed here, but I want to know who actually proposed it before I mark it as an answer.

    Since I have no clue, I'll either leave this to a moderator who can see this information, or I'll wait until I can confirm that this issue has been fixed.

    I marked the answer. Ed Price is the one that marked it "Proposed Answer". I marked it because: The two people (I know of) with the most influence have acknowledged that it is a bug. Presumably it is on the bug list (which must be large). After that, there is nothing we can do. If we wait for the bug to be fixed, it could be months before the thread is marked answered. Also, I waited a week after the reply was proposed to mark it answered.

    We can discuss this. Are you saying you would rather leave these threads open?

    Hi Richard,

    No, I'm fine with leaving this issue closed. I was just totally in the dark, since I can't see who/when an answer is proposed/marked.

    Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

    Yes Mike, losing that information is bad. It makes a big difference who and when a reply was marked. Still, this issue of forum bugs has bothered me lately. Just because someone brings up the issue in this forum doesn't mean it will be noticed or that anything will happen.

    In the TechNet Wiki we maintain a Wiki of "Known Issues". I recently spent time cleaning it up, retiring issues that could no longer be duplicated. I was thinking we could do the same for forum issues (bugs). Fortunately, before I created it, I searched and found that Ed Price created one recently from a thread where Naomi listed the bugs she was aware of. The Wiki is here:

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/17473.msdntechnet-forums-known-issues.aspx

    But this has not been revised since the forum redesign June 18. Still, this might be the place where we keep track of the issues, and hopefully retire the ones that get fixed.

    I made some edits in that article but it is hard to keep it up to the current design. I will appreciate more edits there.

    After the update, I'm now seeing threads with new replies show as italicized.
