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?

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.

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

I dislike change

That no longer works for me, either (on a cell phone).
I have to refresh the page.
