Why do some thread titles appear in bold text?

Just wondering like? I know it has to do with how new they are or if you have viewed them before but dont know why, as some threads that are new (to me) arent in bold, while others are. :confused:

I think it's to do with how popular the thread is.

If a thread's been posted in since you last visited, it'll show up in bold. It's not 100% accurate but it's not far off for registered users, and it'll improve in the next version or two.

Mmm, thought so, but was slightly thrown by the ones that didnt show up in bold. Thanks.
