      When I click on a topic that is several pages long I often can’t tell what I have already read. Is there a way to set this forum software to mark messages as read?

        can we mark topics as read?
        no, and the wordpress-plugin-powered software here does not keep track of that detail

            The one identifying “thing” we can use to see if all items in a thread are read is the indicator that usually shows in the left side of the topic entry. If it is colored a shade of yellow it means that there is “at least” one unread note in the thread.

            It’d be difficult to program, but there must be “something” that turns on or off that indicator. If you knew what it was AND knew how to program it…

            (I don’t know how to do that either!)

              Back in 2017, I posted to the “Site Help” subforum
              topic: “Tip: alternative theme (userContent.css) for antixforum.com”
              https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/alternative-theme-usercontent-css-for-antixforum-com/

              The image hosting site has since “lost” the accompanying screenshots, but the “userContent.css snippet at pastebin” hyperlink still works (will be rejected by spamfilter if I now try to include the link in this new post)

              The “howto” (for me) involved use of the inbuilt firefox StyleEditor (press Shift+F7 in firefox to open the pane).
              As you move your mouse over various elements within (for instance) a forum topic page, the Editor pane will identify the element along with the various css attributes of the element. In real-time, you can tweak the attribute values and/or add or change attributes and immediately see the result.

              For what seaken is discussing, perhaps the only needed bit within the userContent.css is an overriding declaration of the color to be applied to “visited-link” elements.

              That pastebin sample… IIRC it renders a “pinks n purple” pastels colorscheme.
              On this box (not my daily driver), what I’m currently seeing is a “shades of green” colorscheme.
              Ah, here… I sized the browser window to tiny dimensions (and use Ctrl+Scroll to shrink the displayed fontsize) and grabbed a screenshot:

              .
