@Jack maybe it's me, but with previous forum software, new unread Alerts were very obvious to distinguish from ones already read. Running firefox in linux, it is harder to for me to distinguish the new
unread posts from the Alerts dropdown list. I do see a small black dot on the bottom right of each post blurb but only when I place mouse cursor over that post blurb. (Maybe there's a button somewhere I have not correctly pushed...

) I running default light theme as I never tweaked it before or now.
