Reading thread to end
 
Used to be I could read a thread to the very last post and then press the browser back button and the page would reload and I'd see that the thread in question is no longer in bold (indicating I've read all of it). This no longer happens.

I've tried with WIndows/Chrome and Mac w/ Safari and Chrome.]

When did this change and will it be fixed?

Sometimes I have to click on "Last post" again, and back, to get it to be shown as read.

Came here to report the very same thing but wasn't sure if it was something changed in flyertalk or with my browser. As I use Win11 and Firefox it seems the former.

It's the same at the higher level when you go back to viewing a list of forums rather than a list of threads within a forum. The forums with no more unread threads does not show unless you refresh the page, whereas before it automatically refreshed.

I know at least one other cookie behavior changed erroneously, so I'll see if this was a planned change or not

Same issue. Windows w Chrome. Ipad with Safari.

This seems to have happened in the site update yesterday...

... that doesn't seem to help for me.

Reloading the summary page does update the "read" status though.

I dislike change :o :p but this one feels relatively easy to "retrain" my fingers/muscle memory so...

That no longer works for me, either (on a cell phone).

I have to refresh the page. :(

But when looking at your subscribed threads, you don't want to go back to Subforum. I want to go back to the list of subscribed threads.

Doesn't take you back to where you were but to the top of the forum.

Same if you use the breadcrumbs to navigate, it refreshes the page but does not take you back to where you were.

Opened threads not showing as read
 
After opening a thread and reading the thread still showing as unopened?

ooh. This is NOT a problem on my 🍎 📱

Bumping this to ask if any progress on this issue as I see it's been raised in a couple of other threads recently?

IBJoel Sep 12, 2025 8:33 am

This is just a functionality of the site update. I have no idea why they changed it

IBJoel, please take a look at the other thread discussing this very same issue and specifically at StuckInYYZ's post opining that it's a caching issue.
