Read forums

[Rubberchicken]

It seems that a forum doesn't get marked as read until I revisit the forum page, instead of when I read the last new thread.

Example: on the front page I see the XR forum having new posts, so I go there and select the one thread with the new posts. I've now read it, so I go to the front page again. Which still shows the XR forum as having new posts, which it actually doesn't.

Could this be browser related? I've tried in Safari and Firefox.

Not really a showstopper, just a bit of an annoyance.

You need to refresh the page I think.

How do you go back to the front page? via the links, or by usage of the back button?

Tried them all, it doesn't make a difference.

I'll fire up the wintendo sometime later tonight, see what's what on MS IE...

I've noticed this as well.
Even when I go back properly by following a link it still shows orange graphics indicating unread posts but when I go back in there aren't any.
I'd assumed a caching issue but haven't tried a CTRL refresh to confirm that yet.
