Thread colors (light & dark greens)

I come here a few times a day, click on "New Posts" and scan down the page for threads that look interesting.

I discovered today that I seem my mind seems to ignore the threads that are light green (the one's I've alread read in the past?) and only focuses on the dark green ones. I got to the end of the new thread list and was surprised that there were so few... Then I saw that there were 6 pages so I had to start over and concentrate on looking at the light green ones.

Anybody else have this issue? Or is my mind just messed up?

 

Light = Threads YOU'VE looked at.

Dark = Threads YOU'VE never opened.

 

Right. What I'm saying is that my brain is either way ahead of my eyes and is ignoring the threads I've already looked at without notifying my eyes, or it's instructing my eyes to ignore those threads because of the color. Whatever's happening in my head, I don't see the light green threads unless I'm specifically looking for them.

 

Oh, I see.


How many drinks have you had tonight, sir?

 

What if your are colour blind?

 

because you know in your mind which one you read already,, that why you were ignore

people usually just scan, not really read until find something stand out.

just MO

 

LOL... No drinks tonight, Rob. And mia, I'm not color blind.

Maybe I'm just used to looking for threads that are all the same color? If I've read them recently (on other sites), they go from bold to normal, here they go from dark green to light green. Maybe I'm just used to that? I dunno.

I guess this doesn't happen to anyone else, then?

 

Yeah, but I am colour blind and color blind. Make for a lot of fun at stop lights!

 

Maybe you're a low-literacy internet user.

j/k, Mikel!

So when I (or anyone) rep you, you don't necessarily know which colour it is?

 

LOL, that's not me. ;-)

 

That's why red's always on the top or left depending on where you are in the US.
