I'm confused. What does Hot Threads (more than 10 posts) have to do with "Finding New Posts"? A hot thread is hot, and will be marked with orange, whether it has any new posts or not.
The confusion comes from the fact that on the Index page, the change in color from slate to orange is used to indicate the presence of New Posts. But on the next page, the Threads list, the same change in color is used to indicate Hot Threads vs Normal Threads. And just to confuse things a bit more, the New Posts indicator is some intermediate color - a lighter orange, I think.
Personally, this is driving me crazy.
I don't care whether a thread is Hot or not. Regardless of whether 2 people have posted or 50 people have posted, I am interested in each thread, and I read each one. My choice would be to do away with the Hot Threads indicator entirely.
But like Mike, I do care whether there are New Posts in any thread, and like Mike, I want to be able to spot them quickly. A clear unambiguous indicator would make me, at least, a lot happier.
Just my two cents worth.
