Why is it that most of the threads are marked as "read" (i.e. no green light) even though I have not even opened them? I have been very careful not to click the mark all as read button, and this still happens on all boards. I've not been on the EMP or the Comp Science board in two weeks and it thinks they are all read. It happens while I am online just viewing and while I'm gone. It also doesn't mark as read the threads I post in until I go back and "read" them. Am I just doing something wrong? I wanted to figure out some pattern so that I could help solve the problem, but I can't find any that it seems to follow.

There are some problems with the system, it may also possibly behave differently on different browsers. Sometimes the "lights" gets cached by the browser and will not display the true state. Other times the state seems to change for no clear reason.
I have yet to find out if there is a system to it.

It looks like you just have to read your own posts (to make sure you didn't make a typo-right?). As to them being marked read automatically, it is becoming relatively popular for forums to only show posts as new for a day or two, not sure why though

I just noticed something about the read buttons. If you go to the "board", it will clean them all (mark read) even if you don't read them all. Also, for me, the green light will never come back on unless there is a new posting which makes sense.

I've noticed the new post lights are somewhat borked too. I've no idea what causes it. The only thing I figured out is that if you use the Back button in your browser after reading a thread, the green light for that thread will still be on because the browser is showing the cached page.
For a while, I'm sure the lights were green in Firefox and red in Opera

holding ctrl + f5 seems to fix the problem of the lights getting cached... (in IE atleast)
I have not had the problem of all of the threads getting read by visiting the board, but they do get marked as read after 24hrs regardless of if you read them or not...

I too am having this problem, but not just with the read indicator icons. The post "Report" "Quote" and "Edit" icons also disapear. They show initially upon page load but as soon as the javascript clock in the upper left refreshes a single time they become hidden.
