I can’t quite figure it out. I gather it has something to do with being new, since newer posts are more likely to be pink and every reply to a pink post seems to be pink. But it’s not purely chronological (since some of the most recent comments do not have pink borders when I view the thread), and it’s not purely based on being new since the last time you’ve viewed a thread (since I’ve seen pink borders around my own posts).
Why do some posts have pink borders?

It’s posts you haven’t read before. I think writing a post doesn’t count as reading it. Also, the newest open thread is this one.
Thanks. The logic the board uses to determine posts you’ve read seems strange.
Sorry about posting in the wrong open thread. I followed an “open thread” link, and this looked like it was the most recent open thread.
