@thebottomsupblog Are you the new official guru/moderator? Hope to see KSP revive!
I have a request about arrangement of posts - I like that the original post is pinned at the beginning, but could it be marked out in some way? Like a different colour, with a label saying “original post”? It’s a bit confusing that the first post is at the top, then the rest are in reverse order (with latest first).

@slmkhoo Haha yes I’m helping to get rid of spam, make gradual improvements, and build community here again!
I think your view settings are for newest to oldest. The default setting is from oldest to newest. It makes sense for the original post to be coloured differently; let me bring that request to the tech team.

Another user question

What’s the difference between Unread Posts and Recent Posts (on the top left of the page, below the search bar)?

Recent Posts → shows the latest activity across the forum.
Unread → shows threads you’ve opened before, which now have new replies you haven’t seen yet.
So if you never opened a thread, it won’t appear in Unread — only ones you’ve already looked at and “need” to catch up on.
Also, if you’re currently reading a thread and you click on “Recent Posts” or “Unread,” you’ll be exiting the thread. We had one user who got confused because she thought she could access the newest post in the thread by clicking “Recent Posts,” but it’s not thread-specific. (If this has been an issue for you, do share it with us too!) -
@slmkhoo Regarding the post colour: For every thread, the original poster’s messages will all be in a light blue background (not just the first post), whereas the rest will have a white background, like this:

If you (or other users) have any feedback or suggestions for improvement on this, do let us know!

@slmkhoo An update on differentiating the first post in each thread from the others!
Our tech agency has made the change: Only the first post of every thread will have a light blue background. All other posts will have a white background:

Another forum update:
Apart from having the first post of the topic appearing in a different colour from the subsequent replies, our tech team has added this:
Whenever the original poster responds, an “OP” (Original Poster) label will be displayed next to their replies.
