The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I wrote a ViolentMonkey script to sort it alphabetically and make the new message indicator more visible. It's pretty straightforward to do if you know JavaScript.

I had the same idea to display the boards with new messages with more contrast.

ViolentMonkey script:
// ==UserScript==
// @name hightlight unread boards for shrewdm.com
// @namespace Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match Shrewd'm: Shrewd'm: A Merry and Shrewd Investing Research and Education Community*
// @grant none

// find all span-elements with textContent "¤"
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("span"))
.filter(span => span.textContent == "¤")
.forEach(s => {
s.textContent = "NEW"; // replace "¤"
s.style.color = "red"; // replace "orange"
// set backgroundColor for whole table-row
s.parentElement.parentElement.style.backgroundColor = "#F4E5CE"; // "orange", "bisque", ...
});
