Yeah, it does that. I've just sort of learned to click everything, then go to the main page and hit the link that says "mark forums read". I'm one of those people that can't leave something unread, so if it's bolded I have to click it and it's annoying when I click something and find out I've already been there. I've started looking at the "Last Post" section instead of the forums read/unread alerts.
