This is nothing serious, just an annoyance.
Quite often, after I return to the Forum Index after reading a thread, forums with new posts cease to be highlighted. All threads seem to become marked as read even though I haven't read them. Does anyone else experience this or could this be due to some problem on my end?
Thanks much,
Chris

I get the same problem from time to time (which is probably why I missed Ron's Kayfabe post last week - grrr). It usually only happens to me when I actually leave teh site and come back, but it's happened other times. In fact it just happened to me about 5 minutes ago.

It happens to 100% of the time when I log in at home, and 0% of the time when I log in at work.
I suspect it is most likely a browser issue.
Clinton, do you know how far down the version tree of IE and Netscape your latest code is supported by?

I have found that this happens any time I've clicked an external link, even if I open that link in a separate window. The result is that I try never to open any other links, ever. Sometimes I forget, and that makes me sad.
The Forge is the only site where this seems to happen to me.

I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. It might be a browser issue - I notice that at work, where I'm using Mozilla, this happens if and only if my browser crashes (which happens a lot.)
I'll post a bug report with the PHPbb guys and see what they come up with.
