Ok. I'm getting a few annoying problems that may be related. They've happened before, but I've never documented them.

The first thing is that occasionally when I post to a new thread, it doesn't recognize that I've read the thread. Obviously it's impossible to have not read a 1 page thread that you're the last post of, but I've had a few instances of it in the last couple days. It will show new posts, even including my own post as new. I can go back and read, but it doesn't do any good. Even after other people have posted, the thread will still remain as a new post for me no matter how long passes or what I do. Here is a screenshot of that problem currently in my control panel.



Another problem is that threads that I haven't actually read will get marked read, and then I'll lose track of them. For example, if I click on my control panel and start from the bottom of subscribed threads, but then I take too long reading on them before I go back to the control panel, my control panel will have wiped out all my new threads and I'll only have really recent stuff, not everything that was there just a few minutes ago that I still haven't read. The only solution I've found is to go to "List Subscriptions" and then just start clicking on last pages of threads and looking for the last thing I read, and then go from there.

A third problem is kind of the opposite of the last one, it will tell me I haven't read things that I have. This sometimes happens when I close the browser and come back, it will list a bunch of new posts that I've actually already seen.


Thanks for any help. I'm running Firefox 3.0.11 on Windows XP. I also run IE (dunno version) on Windows XP at work, and have similar problems there.
