Forum contains (no) new posts
This functions seems to completely not work for me. Forums are supposed to have new posts while they don't. How does this work? Because it's not convenient this way.

I think I figured out what's happening. I open every new topic of a forum in a new tab and then close the tab with the forum listing the topics. I read (and reply to) the topics from the other tabs, which I close after reading or replying.
But somehow this does not make the board think I read the forum. I HAVE to go back to the forum page after I've read the topics to make sure the board thinks I've read the forum. If I don't do this, the main page will list the forum as one that contains new messages to me. This seems a bug in the software to me?

Mine is not doing it right any more. Even threads that I have never read are showing up as "not new" instead of being new until I actually read them. The only posts that show up as new for me are ones that were made while I was actually browsing. So I logged in this morning to "No New Posts". It was working right yesterday so I don't know.

Hah! I tested it on this forum only and it seems to work: opening topics in a new tab, reading and replying, closing tabs. The forum contains no new posts for me, according to the main page.
But strangely enough, every topic contained new posts for me, according to the forum page, while one topic was one I'd read already before.
