I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem I have every once in a while on this forum. After I read the all the unread topics and return to the main forum showing the 4 sub forums, they still show as unread forums, even after I've refreshed my screen.

just click into the forum and it will be fixed the next time you look
the problem i have is sometimes it will forget what is unread for me
both problems are lessened for me when I use the menu item "New Posts"

Nope didn't work. Read your message (only message I hadn't read), went to the top and clicked "ApteraForum.com - Aptera Car Forum", then pressed F5, Off Topic Discussion still showed unread. Then clicked New posts, re-read message, went to the top and clicked "ApteraForum.com - Aptera Car Forum", then pressed F5, Off Topic Discussion still showed unread. Only thing that seems to work is click "Mark forums read". Kind of a bummer.

On the bottom is says "mark posts as read" or something like that. Use that to reset.

After you've read the post, you have to click into the forum that says unread, then back to the forum home.
I use the tree view at the top, after reading I click the subforum's name and if it is the last new post when I click back to the forum home all the subforums are makred read as I do this.
But I found the new posts funtion easier, you have to try it when there are more new posts than in one topic its much faster.
