    Thread markers.

    After viewing threads they revert back to unread making it very difficult to keep tabs on what is new.

    Any help would be great.

    I've had no problems with Firefox; are you clicking on "Mark Forums Read"?

        Well, I hope someone else will be able to help you; it's a pain to check all the forums for new posts.

                That would be fine if I was trying to get it to show unread but I have the opposite problem.
                If I double click the mark read "quote" for lack of a better word then go back into the forum the threads are marked as read but if I close the search engine and reopen it they will all be marked as not read.
