    Is there a way to see unread posts in mobile view? The icon to the left of the thread title that indicates this on the desktop, is not displayed for me in mobile view.

    On mobile clicking thread title when it has unread posts leads to first unread reply.

    This thread title is also darker than read threads, but its not noticable on mobile device with reduced brightness, so back to drawing board it is.

    Maybe highlighted, or inverted text? ;)

    This is compounded for me, because the All Threads button with the drop down for unread threads also disappears on mobile.

    But I like your solution. It definitely works as long as the user can see the difference between a thread with new posts, or not.

    P.S. I have checked this, and what you say is definitely noticeable if you are looking for it.

    Underlining title would work as a stop-gap I guess.

    It doesn't necessarily need a stop gap. It works. I will just alert my users what to look for. You are doing more than enough.

    Until this change lands one can customize the unread threads title themselves adding this custom css to their site:

    .threads-list-item-title-new {
      text-decoration: underline;
    }

    Excellent.

    On a related issue, in portrait mobile mode, the private threads icon/notifier is not visible. A user can drop down their profile menu, and see there are private messages there, but there is not an obvious visual flag that messages are pending. Am I missing something?

    Better but not perfect:

    but there is not an obvious visual flag that messages are pending

    Mobile navbar is „eeeh, good enough” to be honest. Today I would design it differently, and it may get redesigned sooner or later.

    I suggested that my users put the phone into landscape, to check if they had messages pending.

    "What sort of weirdo uses a phone in landscape?"

    They are a tough crowd. :-)

    There’s a problem with this change: anonymous users see all threads as unread.

    This shouldn’t be the case.

    I don't feel that there is a correct, or necessary, way to display thread status to a user not logged it. They are not providing to us the information necessary to determine whether they have read some posts or not.

    So that would seem not inconsistent, and wouldn't bother me.

    On mobile, with this css, it goes to the last post in the thread. I don't hate that behaviour. On desktop, with this css, it goes to the first post. I don't hate that behaviour either!

    Right. The issue here is that anons should see all content as "read" but new threads list uses "unread" markup for some reason. 🤔

    I'll give this a peek when I'm bug squashing.

    You support is very much appreciated.

    Any chance of including the mod for markdown table support, in the next release? It doesn't need supporting in the editor.

    No. My goal is to have smaller but extensible core to maintain, not larger. 🙂

    And please, keep discussion on subject ;)
