Known Issues
- Green highlight of unread forum remains until auto-refresh, even after all threads in a forum have been read (Issue #27)
- Green highlight intermittently fails to show even when there are unread threads in a forum (Issue #28)
- If `forum` that has focus gets new posts, these threads are not displayed or highlighted as expected after an automatic refresh
- If `thread` that has focus gets new posts, there is no indicator in the post view that there are new posts
- Owl fails to connect to a board after a board has been added, requires a restart of the client
- When quoting a post, the post's HTML shows in the 'New Post' window, should be BBCode. (Issue #31)
- Settings option in context menu does nothing (Issue #29)
- Links inside posts do nothing, they should open in a (default) browser window (Issue #30)
- Navigation is not consistent on panes - single click on forum pane changes forums but a double-click is required on the thread pane to change threads
- Owl does not sync to updated forum structure changes
