This is just a little niggle I've been having but never got around to mentioning.
When I read a thread, and it's the only one unread in the forum, then I come back up to the main forum listings, the forum with the topic I just read is still marked unread.
I apologise for the terrible explanation there. I hope someone understands it.
Also, in Chromium, marking entire forums as read seems to have some problem actually changing the bolded text of unreads to the normal of reads.
I think that might just be Chromium being Chromium. Don't know about Google Chrome, won't touch that, so don't know if it happens in that too.
It doesn't matter if A thread is opened to read or not. But if I see the title of the thread from any links, like "view new posts", "view latest threads", "zero reply threads" it is showing me as "read threads".
Mostly the read/unread thing is OK for me; sometimes it's crazy. I figure it must be a well known bug so I haven't reported any of the symptoms. Workarounds include using "View Latest Threads" instead of "View New Posts", scanning LQ "Reply to thread ..." email subjects and browsing "Subscribed Threads".

Rep:
TheStarLion, that's actually the expected behavior as it's currently session based (that is, when your session started the forum had new items). Thanks for the feedback.
