How come read posts do not update correctly?

[ggiersdorf]

I have noticed when I go to my board it says there are 5 new post since last visit etc. No problem when I go to these threads and read them, and go back to the main page I would expect them to say there are 0 new message (posts) not emails that are unread. I have to phyiscally mark the forums read
is there a way to mark a thread read once I read it automatically?

I assume this is a hack, and the clue is in the message - 5 new posts since your last visit, not 5 unread posts. Whether a thread/post is marked read or not is not going to change the fact it is new since you last visited. You would need a different hack to show unread posts.

and I want it to do what you said say 5 new UNREAD posts.. etc..
