I'm experiencing problems with threads randomly coming up as read or not read. I have clicked no buttons that would do anything like that.

For example, the other day when I got home from school and checked the boards. In SMBG, even the topmost thread was shown as read, even though it was a different last poster than last night I went to bed. And a thread I posted in had a new last poster, but was shown as read, even though I was the last person posting in it before I went to bed. This is rather frustrating, 'cause I'm experiencing more and more hours per day that goes I cannot check these boards and get a message that the site is temporarily unavailable.

I see that of course even with the number of features that's disabled that the forums can be slow, but direct inaccesability, that's insane.

I've been having the same problem as well. Glad it's not just me.

Though, this thread keeps displaying as not read even though this is the third time I look in it with no new reply, and I have not logged out logged out..


EDIT: Even after I posted this, it's still unread...

You might want to look into the cookies options of your PC. Since read/unread is based on cookies for now, some cookie options might have impact on what you see as read/unread.

This behaviour is normal for all cookies based boards, not just vbulletin. Closing this thread in favour of the other one.
