As opposed to "unread", which is what new posts in a thread-of-interest should be.

Just wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this (in which case it's on my end), or not.

The pain-in-the-ass bit is that - even though I still get the flag on the page - I have to squint to read how many posts there are, and then count them up as I'm reading them, ie: the lettering should be in bold, but it isn't.

(I posted the same query a few months ago ; changed the wording a bit on this one, so you know what I'm talking about)

Open the My PF menu and select Preferences. Tick "Alerts pop-up skips mark read" and it shouldn't happen any more.

Worked partially : the text isn't bolded, but the new ones now say "Mark read" at the bottom instead of "Mark unread". Thanks
