Hey Ann,

For this you would need to use the 'visited' selector in the CSS. For example, if you wanted to mark read topic titles with a different colour, you would do:

#spMainContainer a.spRowName:visited,
#spMainContainer .spRowName:visited {
    color: red;
}

Note the :visited after the class. This can be applied to pretty much anything that's a link of sorts. There are a couple of catches here so for full details take a look at the w3schools Definition.

I don't want to flog a dead horse because I'm pretty sure you are running a child theme, but if not take a look here to get started as you'll need one for such a change.

Hope that helps!

No problem, was I wrong in assuming you had a child theme in place? It's not easy to remember who has.

Any questions be sure to ask, we'll be here.

Ah apologies.. Definitely worth doing. Follow the tutorial I posted above, and make sure to grab the child theme framework from the store (free). And once done it will mean that when you next update you wont loose any changes made.

Have fun!

I'm really sorry but I don't understand a couple of things there so let's start at the top:

Yes you should activate the child theme framework before editing. As standard it doesn't contain any changes so you should still see regular old Reboot. I don't understand what 'edit it in situ' means though, what's situ?

You would typically edit the child theme stylesheet in a code editor like Notepad or Notepad++ which is a good free place to start. Any editor will do as long as it's not rich text. You can also use the SP theme editor (Forum > Themes > Theme Editor) although with Reboot you can only edit the stylesheet here, not templates. Should do you for now at least if nothing else.

I'm also not sure where this 'recent topics down the side' is.. Could you take a screenshot and upload here highlighting the part you'd like to change?

It's no problem, we can guide you through the process of making a change in a child theme, it's pretty straight forward.
