Whatever method people's browsers were handling cookies must have been po'janky. The only difference I see is what BoB described. Threads unread for a week are then marked off. I think you guys have some OCD issues where a thread marked as unread bothers you because you aren't interested in the topic, and for some reason can't stand seeing a thread with bold lettering

I like the new method. I use multiple computers and this ensures that the threads I've read are marked as read, and vice-versa. And I have no problem with half the forum being unread. I just check the topics that interest me. I don't see why everyone HAS to click "mark forum as read"

Explain plz??
