I currently believe it was a mistake to add the “unread green left-border” to posts and comments in the Recent Discussion section – it mostly makes me click a bunch of things to remove the green that I didn’t really want to mark as read. Curious if anyone has opinions about that.
I intuitively think it’s good, but have in fact noticed myself clicking to dismiss it despite not having read it or thought about whether I’d like to read it.

I really like the green-unread on post pages. On Recent Discussion I have so much of it that I think I don’t really pay attention to it.
I find it very useful for telling whether comments are new. I’ve not been using it as an inbox (no clicking in order to make green go away).
I haven’t noticed a problem with this in my case. Might just not have noticed having this issue.
