    Confused by read/unread

    In the old system, the ones you had looked at were blue, the ones you hadn't were yellow-ish. A thread that you had posted to had a black dot on it.

    In the new system, a thread I have posted to has an arrow, a post I have read is blue, a post I have not read is yellow-ish....except that it doesn't appear consistent. Some threads have the yellowish icon, but I am the last one to post something to it. Therefore, it seems that it should be blue. What do the colors mean? How do you tell when somebody has posted a reply? Is looking at the last poster name the only option?

    Its a problem with when you view the thread after repling it doesn't register that you've viewed it for some reason, I've seen this issue on other vB3 forums but not sure if they've been fixed.

    So it's a bug? Just call it a feature, like MS does.

    Considering this is V3.0.3 you'd have thought they'd have fixed it but they must be calling it a feature. I find it really annoying, let me know if you find an easy way to get around it. I've tried just refreshing the page after making the post but that doesn't work .
