The issue is that at the moment the button does not change unless the page is refreshed so if new posts have been made after the splash screen is loaded then the button does not show the current state of the forum posts. I am working on that. The blue color is dictated by the color of all hyperlinks - change one and you change them all. I can change the text - that is not a problem

I am working on that. Thanks Chris, I wondered about the refresh, perhaps the screen refreshed when I woke the Mac this morning. It was still blue when I entered just now and found this post. I understand the global change thing. Perhaps a text change would deal with it, but of course that has to be communicated from the server to client!

I think consistent text descriptors is the important part. The colours can remain as is, as otherwise the change has multiple other effects.

I have changed the New posts label to a brighter green, made it bold and added the flashing icon like the new PM button. I think it is more accurate to stay with Recent posts as that is what the button is really taking you to and is common language with other fora. When there are unread posts to see on the forum it is just announcing them - hopefully the clear distinction in color and flashing icon will also help when I get the refresh issue sorted as it will start flashing as and when new posts are made.

Thanks Chris. Flashing sounds good because I tend to leave the splash screen playing on one monitor while working on the other. Flashing will catch my eye. It won't help with an eyepad since they go to sleep a few seconds after inactivity!

I think I have cracked the refresh issue - once you reload the splash screen it should change the PM button if a new pm comes in and change the recent posts button if a new post is created.

Not working at this end on the Recent Posts, I refreshed the screen manually but it didn't change the colour of the text, I opened the Recent posts anyway and found this new post.

Has done it again, I went to the splash screen by clicking the Splash button on Recent Topics page. Splash screen claimed a new post but there wasn't one, so out of curiosity I clicked messages button from Splash screen and got this, I grabbed it for you. These are the names of all members with whom I have had PM conversations.
