Description

Currently, there is no difference between a read thread and an unread thread. This is a visual state that we had in previous versions of DE and we need to recover.

User Experience

Visual States
UNREAD THREAD
Change the thread title style using font-weight:600

READ THREAD
Change the thread title style using font-weight:400

Design
The link has the current Lexicon's link style.

Interaction

• If a thread is replied the visual state changes to unread state.
• If a thread is accessed the visual state changes to read state.

Disclaimer
We have plans to update in the future the style for message boards so the style of this fix could be obsolete once "lexicon for sites" will be released.

Development

This feature only works for logged users because the implementation is not using cookies (the state is stored in the data base).
