Maybe grey can be never seen, red never posted, and orange posted but new replies?

I wouldn't use red for that. We live in a world where red is associated with warning or danger, so I'd not use it or change the whole scale of colours to use red as being quoted.

Something along the lines of

Grey = You've never been in the thread
Blue = You've visited, but never posted in the thread
Green = No new replies since you last posted
Orange = There are new replies since you last posted
Red = You've been quoted in the thread

just my 2cts

 

I'm certainly fine with whatever combination of colors people want to come up with - now that the bug has been fixed and the code agrees with the VGBuddy feature, it makes no difference to me what the logic is.

I'd be happier having two different 'black' icons - one that looks like a 'closed' envelope (for new, unread posts) and one that looks like an 'open' envelope (for posts you've read, but not commented in). Somebody feel free to design me some icons, and I'll implement - because I don't do that kind of stuff...  ;)

That's a great idea!!
