There are some of the forums that I don't really read/care about so is there a way to turn off the blinking red gamepad whenever there is a new post? Thanks, ctdabomb
Some people are like slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't help smiling when you shove them down the stairs.
No. My guess is that you will have to configure your web browser(s) to have different style. Best place to start with that is probably http://userstyles.org/
You could use a different theme if their indicator is more pleasant for you. See Settings.
You could press the 'mark all as read' link to mark current unread threads as read.
