Thread read/not read


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".

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.
