When using the forums, forum titles glow bold/ osu! button lights up when there is an update in a forum. However, the update can be anything from an a new topic to an update to a post to a post on a hidden subforum. This is starting to get slightly annoying for me because I usually check General Questions every time the text becomes bolded, but after I go to the page, I don't see any updates and am forced to press "Mark Current forum read" to make the forum title unbolded.

As a solution, I want the forum title to only be bolded (unread) when there is a new visible post/thread, not when there is an edit or invisible post.

(I am not sure I am completely correct on the forum mechanics, so correct me if I am wrong)

Basically, before peppy's change the forum title would be automatically unbolded if there was no new post or thread but this behaviour has changed to make the forum faster.

I guess this is related but really annoying... Since the bolding means nothing now, can we just disable that completely to reduce confusion (or have bolding always on).
