last visit timestamp change?

I always use the back button on my browser to return to the previous page & topic list after reading and/or posting.

About a week ago, I replaced my old Win 95 machine with IE 5.5 with a new XP machine with IE 6.0. I'm noticing a change in flyertalk board behavior.

When I come to the board, the last visit timestamp is correct (yellow lightbulbs on topics with unread messages). If I read and then back-button return to the topic list, it's still correct. But if I POST, then when I return to the topic list, it seems the timestamp is now reset, and almost all topics are showing as all-read.

Did the board software change? Or is this an IE5.5 vs 6.0 difference? Or is there some IE option that I need to set to get back to the way it used to behave?

Thanks,
swag
