That is what is happening, i.e. the main index always shows the correct number of unread messages, but once you drill down the messages are still shown as unread.

This isn't what used to happen. Before when you pressed "up" while in a forum all messages got marked as read (even those that you hadn't read). This is good. This is how the other wwwthreads bbs that I use still works.

The way things are currently working is a real pain. You can't spot new messages unless you go through and read EVERY message (even those you don't want to read) each time.

I though to begin with it was because I had upgraded to IE5.5, but that's not it, it also happens from work using IE5.0
