I noticed a couple of days ago that threads on here are still bold as if there are new replies after I reply to one. Is it just me, or is anyone else having this problem?
I think this comes with vB3. I've noticed it on one other board I frequent. It counts your reply as "new/unread" even though you obviously "read" it as you posted it. Frustrated me for quite some time at first. Now I just try to get used to it.
I was running 3.0.1 and noone reported the problem ( may have existed though ).
But an upgrade to 3.0.3, reports came in. 3.0.4 seems to have cleared it though. And 3.0.5 too.
That said, the whole mark as read feature in vb seriously needs a major rehaul. Even free phpbb gets the job done right for TRUE thread read features.
Was very fustrating for myself and my members when we did the switch from phpbb to vb2 a couple of years back and to this day, there are still complaints.

Yes at an insanely serrious cost to any large board.
