it seems that some messages that i have read before still show up as unread.

I am not totally sure of this... but it seems like the previously read posts that show up as unread fall into this pattern: One post from each Forum (like General, Technical, Programing, etc.) and that post will be the last post that was read in that forum in the previous bbs session, and possibly only if that session were in a previous day.

Can anyone verify this?
