With the above system pages have dropped the green background from the current post being read... also in the left sidebar when selecting a forum in Win XP it had a green background. In viewing a thread the green unread icon does not change to grey color until moving to the next post. Without the green background and change of icon color immediately it's very hard to determine where you are, especially in a long thread with many posts.
