Why is it the simple stuff sometimes.....? ;- )
Can't process the above, because it seems to me that if everything I've already read is green and the rest is blue -- whether an old/unread item or a new/unread item, that's easier. Not that my permanently-colored link dream appears to be possible from what you said but I am just trying, for sport I guess, to absorb why it would be that diff colored links would only make it easier if I had read the whole page. Until a recent crash, I could see at a glance everywhere I'd been, and I guess it spoiled me. <sniff sniff> Thanks tho! : )-----
