Unread Content

[propwash]

When I log on to this site, I click on "my activity streams" and then "unread content."  This takes me to a list of messages that I have not yet read. These messages are shown in bold print on this list.  I can click on the individual messages and read them, and when I come back to the main list, the ones I have just read are now grey instead of the bold black. This works with my Windows PC using either Firefox, Edge or Internet Explorer as my browser.

 

I borrowed my daughter's Mac the other day to try and see if I liked the way that Apple does things.  Using the built in Safari browser, I logged on and went to the "unread content" portion.  Here, every message was shown in bold black format.

After reading a message, when I went back to the list of unread content, everything was still shown in bold black.  There was no way I could see to get it to change to grey after I read it.  Is this a problem (feature?) of the Safari browser, or is there a way I can change things on the site to get Safari to act more like Firefox?

If you hit the refresh button they’ll probably change to show they’ve been read.  It’s just a difference in when it updates visited links when you go back to a previous page,  there may or may not be a setting to control that.

 

I find it easier to just hold the link then open in new tab for each one.  Then go read them and close the tab.
