Unread threads being marked as read Thread last updated on 2003-06-03 13:15:28

I thought (though I could very well be wrong) that I read a post from devilboi stating that posts you have not read cause the threads icon to appear blue, and read ones are grey. Well, it doesn't seem to be working correctly. Is it maybe set up so that as soon as ANYONE reads a new post, that thread is marked as read? If so, would it be possible to change this? I can't always remember which threads I've replied to, so checking to see if my answer helped the person sometimes takes a lot longer than it otherwise could. Thanks.

actually it is being checked based on the last time you visited the forums, in other words if a thread has not been updated since the last time you were here (and your session has changed), it would be grayed out regardless of wether you have read it or not.
