Well, I do see the bold with Chrome, in the home page, but not in a section with unread posts. I'm using a Digital Storm PC on Windows 7 with the latest Waterfox browser (almost a Firefox clone).

I'm running Firefox 85.02 (64-bit) under Windows 10 (64-bit) and I don't see any bold on threads with unread posts.

I do see the bold with Chrome and Edge, but since I use Firefox that doesn't help me.

Thanks Chris. Just trying to gather some facts.

Firefox doesn't seem to be showing BOLD at all. I've tried using the B text format option in the editor but it doesn't do anything. Italic & Underscore work, but Bold does not .

Tech Support Mike is working on it. We have a solution that works, but may not be the right one for this forum.
FYI the Bold in the text editor actually does work, but you and I can't see it in FF. Try bolding some text in a message (highlight and click the Bold link), then viewing it in another browser or on another device (Android tablet or iPad), and you'll see the bold text.

Does changing the text size in the browser do anything to make the Boldface more visible (ctrl + and ctrl -)?

Lou, the issue appears to be font weight rather than font size. For some reason that eludes me, Firefox requires a font weight >500 to display bold. This can be confirmed by using FF's Web Developer|Inspector tool, highlighting the text that should display bold, and changing the font weight. However, as we saw, a heavier font made things fuzzy for some folks.
Not sure what the next step is, but Mike is working on it.

I just noticed that above each avatar the user name of the "Site Team" is bold, but others are not. Also, on the right, the members online list, the "Site Team" is bold, but others are not.
I had thought that the browser took care of making text bold, just by specifying bold, but apparently they've put more into it than that.

Love the new page look, very readable!
Interesting as Site Team isn't bold (using Chrome on my android tablet) for me Larry. Not sure if it's because I am one. Just highlighting it in case it's useful....

The site team usernames should be displaying in bold both next to their posts and over in the members online list. (makes it easier to find them to get help) The "site team" title is not bold (at least for now). We can make changes if this needs improvement.
Hey, like the new site. I'm using a kindle Fire and got on fine.

Should they be? It can be arranged...

I see only Site Team names in bold under the avatars, Janet, and the same in the Members Online list. As I mentioned above, I use the latest Waterfox browser. But I see no bold in unread forums or threads, so obviously those are done in a different fashion from the ones that I do see bold.

Looks like you've fixed the BOLD issue in Firefox! Threads with unread entries now properly show up in bold. Good job!
