Just like we promised, the thread icons indicating threads with new comments, or hot topics etc. are back in action!

The catch?  Every thread on the forum right now is showing as "New" to you.  Even threads you've read recently.  This is because we reenabled the feature and you have no cookie tracking the information yet.

If you want to clear all the "New" markers just click on the "Mark All Posts As Read" link at the bottom of the forums. This will remove the "New" icons from everything on the forums.  Only new threads, or threads with new posts from that point forward will show up as "New".

We've added a "Hot Thread" icon to point out threads that are much more active than others.  This should help you spot the more interesting and active threads on the forums.

And now that "New/Read Posts" can be crossed off the list... it's on to tackling other features!
