I've just changed the way the forum handles unread messages. Do not adjust your sets if you see bags of threads you've already read saying they contain unread posts!
Basically before the change, the forum would mark everything as read after 15 minutes of inactivity, whether you'd read those threads or not.
Since the change, everything you've read/not read is stored in a database. So if you get distracted, called away from the computer, etc., you'll still be able to call up the threads you haven't seen yet.
If you've read everything from recently, and want to 'clear the slate' as such, click on the "Quick Links" drop down on the top forum menu bar, then click "Mark Forums Read"
The "New Posts" is also a handy feature, in case you've never used it (why not? )
