Website Idea

OK...You all know that a topic that has been posted to since you last logged on has its folder icon changed to a purple color....however, the sticky topics ALWAYS have that purple color. I propose that a sticky topic that has been posted to gets it's color changed to something other than purple so that people can see whether or not it has new posts. For example...

Bill logs on friday night. The NL contest topic icon is purple.
Bill logs on saturday morning. With no new posts, the icon is still purple.
Bill logs on saturday evening. With no new posts, the icon is still purple.

Ideal scenario:

Bill logs on friday night. The NL contest topic icon is GREEN (or another color besides purple or yellow)
Bill logs on saturday morning. With no new posts, the icon is purple.
Bill logs on saturday evening. With 2 new posts, the icon is once again green.


Tell me what you all think about that idea....

I think this is in place already, let me test is real quick. going to make this post sticky, shouild be considered still as new.

ok, I see what's up, the two icons are too similar, this is the icon for sticky topics with new replies
and this is the icon for stiucky topics without new replies

I'll see if I can make the latter icon to flash in green for new replies and replace the first one in this post.

just so you don't think I am kidding you here is proof:

http://www.weeweeslap.com/images/sticky%20two.jpg

first is the post with the new reply on sticky topic and the second image is having all sticky topics marked as read.

there, images all done and uploaded and fixed, all new sticky topics with reply with have the arrow flashing ina bright green and the ones without replies remain the same in flash with red

WWS - I now dub you "God of WeeWeeSlap".....you're awesome.

call me stupid but what exactly are the sticky topics, are they the ones that being used w/i a certain time frame?

[Oscar]

just topics that do not go down in the forum list, always at the very top of all categories. go to site related forum and the two topics up, I think official medal count and donations, never go down the long list based on time of last post, always remain at the top

yeah theyre the important topics that tell people the rules and stuff of each forum.
