New post/thread indication after BBS upgrade

The new post and new thread indiciation seems to have degraded a bit after the recent downtime/upgrade/bugfix.

Unchanged:
The main forum list shows new which forums have new threads.
Clicking on a forum shows which threads have new posts.

Changed:
Clicking on a thread with new posts doesn't show the light blue/gray (default theme) post heading to indicate they are new.

In a forum, clicking to higher page numbers, then back to lower page numbers shows all threads without light blue/gray heading as if they have no new posts. Usually this sequence would update the view to show no new posts in the threads I've opened, but leave the unopened ones indicating new posts. It's as if I went back to the Main Index and reentered the forum (which, hm, may have still shown unread threads... or maybe that reset them, I forget).

I'm seeing what you are, except for within posts. I still get the different colored headers.

There's one new thing I've noticed that I like. If I click on a forum with new posts in it, then click on a thread with new posts on it, and then hit the "back" button, the thread is marked as read, leaving the other unread threads still marked. That's pretty neat. Before, if you hit the back button, it understandably showed the previous state of the thread until you refreshed the page, at which point it would mark it as read.

Frankly I'm not sure how it does it the way it does now. The only thing I can think of is that it somehow quickly marks the thread as read after you click on it but before it takes you to it. I don't know...

And now I'm going to try the RSS feeds again, since they never worked for me before...

That's actually the default. But is uses bandwidth. I expect it will revert to the pre-upgrade settings soon as He who controls the BBS notices.
