Like most of you I’m sure, I auto-subscribe to threads I post in. When I click on “User CP,” it shows me if any new posts have been made. Once I visit the CP once, the threads will be marked as “read.” The last two days this step has not been occuring, and I see the same threads every time; they have definitely not been updated since last checking. Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

I’ve had this problem intermittently the last few weeks. I wonder also.

It’s happening again. My subscribed threads list doesn’t remember that I have already viewed the latest posts and when I click on it, it takes me back to some old post in the thread, as if I hadn’t read it yet.
