[QUOTE="schweb, post: 1068209, member: 59"] That's because the old cookie-based solution basically just said "hey, we're just gonna mark everything as read after so long whether you actually read it or not". The new server based solution says, "we're only going to mark read what you actually read or when you click 'mark all forums read'". Everything else that has new stuff, but that you haven't read will simply be placed below that line "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts". You can ignore everything below that line or mark the forums as read and they'll disappear. They'll also fall off that list if you still haven't read them after 5 days (this will be adjusted up or down as we see how the system plays out). The new system is much more accurate and it works much better for people viewing the site from multiple devices. [/QUOTE]
