Am I using the wrong setting somewhere? When I read a post, it used to change color to show I had read it and I knew

where I was at on the board. That doesn't happen now and I am just wondering if I need to change a setting? Thanks.

1. Mine changes on both my phone and PC. I don't see anything in 'settings' that controls it.

2. Mine used to but doesn't any more. Sigh....

3. Oh, not sure why but it's working all of a sudden. Thanks.

4. I can see visited threads on one column but not the other

on the Greatest Threads page. There are two versions of the layout. When sorted by Most Recent, itshows visited threads on the left (most recent) but not the right (most recs) : https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=greatest_threads&sort1=recent

If you sort by Most Recs from the top bar, it's just the opposite, showing visited threads only on the right: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=greatest_threads&sort1=mostrecs

5. I remember a browser setting somewhere, sometime, that let you change the color of links that you opened.

Since it relies on your browser history to tell the browser what you already saw, it could be that you are in some private mode that wipes or “forgets” browser history ( Not that you are a criminal, but browser history has led to arrests, for browsing sites related to a crime, as in “how to make a pipe bomb” and things like that. )

A few people on DU have inadvertently gone into private mode (easy to do accidentally on a phone)

Best guess without doing a bunch of research.

I also seem to remember one browser that let you “highlight visited links”, or not.

Since it is a browser matter, it will vary from one to another.
