Aye I've noticed this issue since the forum update quite some time ago, not sure if it 'can' be fixed but its been raised before.

Its a bit darker on my laptop screen (ever so slightly) but I can hardly see it on my desktop monitor.

It's very weird, as mine's in light blue when I highlight text in someone else's post, but becomes very light grey when I highlight text in my replies (i.e. when editing).

Yup same here, its also light blue when selecting your own text after you've finished the post and 'saved' or 'posted'. I expect the 'light blue' is a different kind of highlight, I'm sure someone knows the technical explanation :)

I highlighted it when it first came about (pun intended). It was said to be getting looked at but nothing ever came of it. It's a nightmare for me to be honest as I get tagged in things quite a bit but never know what notifications I have viewed and what ones I haven't. Previously when hitting the notification list, it would highlight the ones that weren't yet viewed. Now as soon as I click the notification button all the notifications are cleared. This is fine when I only have a couple and I can see which ones they are but when it hits 10+ (which is very regularly) I completely lose track and I miss stuff. I know there's nothing I can do about it but I don't want people thinking I'm ignorant...... at least not when I'm not intentionally doing it :D

As much as the highlighting in the edit box not working is a complete pain, the usefulness of the notification panel is a much higher priority for me.

Totally agree about notifications
