Wasn't sure what to put for the title but yet again this site is not registering "as read" when you've checked all your following threads or anything you reply to.
I've complained about this numerous times and it's OK for a while but then goes tits up!
Just sort it out, OK?

For example, I just made this thread and it's now showing up in my list as "unread" along with every other thread I've commented on this evening.0

The most basic method (and kindest on the server) for marking threads read is cookie based on vBulletin forums. Seems to be what MSE are using, so failure to mark threads as read often means some problem with those.
I note both forums version work OK here ATM.

I'm sorry I can't as I can't visually use the blue forum, I've told you this before. It's too bright and confusing. I have visual difficulties that preclude me from using the new site.
Still getting threads I've read showing up as unread and not only ones I've either commented on or are subscribed to. It's literally doing my head in as I have OCD and can't leave the forum until my subscribed threads are unread. This is proving impossible!0 -

For some reason, it's hides on the front page of the forum here.
