Highlighting a thread.

In the home screen, there is a grey-ish highlight that goes from the forum subject words, across the screen over to where the name and info of the last post are when you hover the pointer over it. This really helps my eyes follow and see the right name and post info. However, once you click into a forum, the highlights go away and they don't appear for the threads. I think it would be helpful to many people if you put the highlights in the threads part of each forum. To help our eyes follow that line across to see who and when the last post was. Anyone agree? Comments?

I think many of us are not sure exactly what you mean by "highlighting a thread"? Can you provide a screenshot.

Notice how the first pic is a little easier to follow and see the name and time info. for the last post in that forum. The second pic is a little more difficult (for me anyway) to follow your eyes over to the name etc. especially when the window is long and there is a lot of posts. Thanks iPod Nano for the heads up. I thought I explained it well but I suppose the pics do help a lot.

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the effect on my own machine.

Is anyone else unable to do this on their machine? I'm talking about the grey "highlight" that appears across the screen when you hover over a sub-forum like in picture 1.
