All posts/threads marked as read after inactivity
I'm sure this must have been covered before, but no amount of searching seems to find an answer for me. It seems that if I'm idle for some amount of time, it seems to be an hour or so, FlyerTalk automatically marks all posts in all threads as read. I'm sure this is annoying to others as well as myself since I rarely have time to read everything I want to read at one time. I use other boards that seem to use the same software that don't do this, so I don't believe it's a cookie problem or a browser problem. Is there any way to change this behaviour?

I believe that other boards using the same software as us work the same as you are describing that we are working now. We will be upgrading to the new version of our forum software soon though and if the behavior of the way things are marked as read/unread has changed in it you will likely see that change then.
One suggestion is when you open FT you might want to open several windows/tabs with the thread listings of the forums you frequent when you first visit and look them over as you have time then. That way you will have threads marked as read/unread in that window. This isn't for everyone, but works for some. Thanks,
