Bold topics with new posts?

I see that when I use a Sticky" it bolds the text.  I would love to be able to bold thread titles that have posts that I have not yet read?  When I used phpBB2 it would just use a different color for the thread title which made life really easy when searching to see what I had missed.  Any options here?

This seems more or less almost the same question you had here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=195044.msg1241909#msg1241909

If you want to bold it:

Open Themes/<theme_name>/Display.template.php:

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" ><a ' . ($topic['new'] ? 'class="newtopic"' : '') . ' href="', $topic['first_post']['href'], '">' . $topic['first_post']['subject'] . '</a></span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';


Change the above to:

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] || $topic['new'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" ><a ' . ($topic['new'] ? 'class="newtopic"' : '') . ' href="', $topic['first_post']['href'], '">' . $topic['first_post']['subject'] . '</a></span>', $topic['is_sticky'] || $topic['new'] ? '</b>' : '';


How do I modify files?

I don't see any code like that in the Display.template.php file.  I searched it manually and did a "search" and found nothing that matches.  Help?

If you are having trouble finding that much code, then:

Just search for each occurrence of:

$topic['is_sticky'] ?

And replace the ones that have '<b>' or '</b>' right after it, with this:

$topic['is_sticky'] || $topic['new'] ?

That code cannot be found either.  Weird...

Sorry, it is in MessageIndex.template.php, not Display.template.php.
