When you post a reply or post a new message...it changes all the colors back to square one. As if you have not read ony of them. BUT...if after you post you message, you press you BACK button back to the original listing, the colors will reflect having visited only the ones you have read. So, if the colors matter to you.....press you back button every time you post a message and it will be fine. thanks again Danny for making the new one. I just wish I could shut down the old one so there would not be posts to both.Debbi
