When browsing the forum it is a bit difficult to see which topic/thread/forum has something new and which doesn't.

First the symbol is a (dark) blue fringe of the balloon on a (slightly darker) blue background. I did not notice it until right now, and its still kind of hidden even if I look right on the spot. May be another color, say a dark green may be more convenient.

Second the fringe stays until I read each and every thing I did not read so far. Even if it's 3 months old stuff I am obviously (cause I did not care in 3 months) not interested in. So may be there is a way to only mark threads as not read when they are in some way up to date (3 days, a week, half month, something like that). Well it's probably something less important until the forum grows a bit and becomes more crowded.
