[Coda]

I can't figure out exactly how this forum's "mark as read" functionality works. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with whether or not I've read the thread, because threads I know I haven't read don't show up as unread, and threads I know I HAVE read still show up as having new posts.

To make matters worse, each forum's main icon on the front index doesn't seem to be correlated with whether or not there are threads inside with unread posts. More than once I've clicked on a forum to find that all of the threads inside are marked as read.

It's rather frustrating because I'm a compulsive forumgoer; I refresh the index fairly frequently (every few minutes when I'm paying active attention, every couple hours otherwise) to see where the new activity is.
