New TFL software

Rich,

The new software looks good and it looks as though you've put a lot of work into it. A few picky little complaints follow -- you asked for feedback, right?

1) It'd be good if the threads were color coded for which have been read and which haven't;

and

2) When looking at the 'topics' page, the thread titles are hard to read because the column is too skinny; for example, a post titled "To Gunslinger, about your belly bands" takes up three lines. Can you scootch the columns so that the topic space is bigger and who posted last is smaller? Might make it easier to skim topics.

Overall, a pleasing change. Thanks for your hard work!

The threads are color coded the same as here:
If there's new posts, they're black.
If there's no new posts, they're black.

The discerning feature is the colored foldres, same as here.

I agree about that first column....I've tried to clean it up, but without success. I know there's a solution, though.

So I can have any color folder I want, as long as it's black?
