We made a few little upgrades over this weekend which have reset the thread indicators for what threads are new or old for all accounts. To reset your thread indicators (the icons that show new and old threads plus the "new posts" feature), click the "Mark All Threads Read" link located in the Quick Links drop down of any page. This is a one time deal, once you've clicked it your account will be caught up and the system will start using a "smarter" method for keeping track of what you have read moving forward.
With this upgrade we no longer rely on time as an indicator of when you have read a thread but instead actually check to see what you have or have not read. Under the old system after 15 minutes of inactivity it was assumed you had completed reading all the relevant old threads. Under the new system, you must either read a thread or mark a particular forum (or all threads) as read for them to be treated as old. This is a far more accurate way of handling threads and removes many issues faced by members who timeout before being able to read through all the threads that they find interesting.
Thank you for your understanding.
