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.

I have been trying to get it to change, the best way I can explain it tho is that every so often if you haven't read it it will mark itself as read, and then when you read something go back to the page with the link to that thread and it will mark it as read. If you go back to the main forum page it will just assume it isn't read.
