Here is what I did to try and duplicate the issue. Let me know if I am looking at this incorrectly.
Scenario 1:
Scenario 2:
Scenario 1:
- Go to the Flyertalk.com forum front page (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/) and click on the 'Mark Forums Read' link near the bottom. This marks all the forums as read.
- Staying logged in, I close the browser.
- Open the browser and return to the forum front page.
- All forums are still marked as read.
Scenario 2:
- Go to the Flyertalk.com forum front page (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/) and click on the 'Mark Forums Read' link near the bottom. This marks all the forums as read.
- Log out using the 'Log Out' button near the top.
- I close the browser.
- Open the browser and return to the forum front page.
- Log back into the forum.
- All forums are still marked as read.

my forums & threads not showing as marked will show correctly if it is the same day but it is the next day that i have un-marking issues (almost as if something happens to the f/t db over night)

- Come back a few hours or day later.
- Open the browser, which is FT's home page.
- Click on Points & Miles at the top where it says Jump to Forums.
- All forums marked as read but bolding goes back at least a few hours, occasionally a day or two, before I marked the forums as read when I left the last time.

Use quick links at the top of a forum page and click on the 'Mark Forums
Read' link. This marks all the fora as read.
Log out.
Come back a few hours or day later.
Open the browser to login page and then My FlyerTalk.
All fora marked as read, but within the fora, bolding goes back at
least a few hours, occasionally a day or two. Sometimes. And not
necessarily in all fora.

So ...
If you mark a forum as read, why don't the posts within that forum
get marked as read as well, that is the question. (It is inconsistent
as of now.)
