More accurately, the title goes "un-bold" for you after you open it and
stays that way until someone else posts on it, then it goes bold again.
The OP gets "un-bolded" until someone else posts on it, because they
already had it open when posting it. -- Most boards of this type do that.
It makes it easy to know at a glance if there is anything new on a thread.
