Threads not being marked as read

Steve

I'm getting this a lot recently, I view a thread (via the ?goto=newpost link) and then use the link at the bottom to go back to the forum it's in.
When I do this, the thread appears unread even though there have been no new posts.
Sometimes it takes 2 or three views before it appears as read.

Could it be something on my end? cookies? or how does vB determine a thread was read?

Controlled by cookies; I've never experienced the problem myself on any machine I use, that said, I use a similar setup on every machine.

I don't think I use the goto=newpost option much either.

Does this happen every single time?
What browser are you using?
Do you have an anti-virus/firewall/phishing filter installed that might be blocking cookies to some extent?

I think this is probably something clientside, but we'll see what the common factors are.

Thanks Ross.

I'm pretty sure I'm not blocking anything sent by boards, I only block any cookies sent by offsite hosted images in a thread but I can't see this having any effect.

Using Trend Micro client/server AV on the machine that I see it on.

I'll dig into this a bit further on other machines / browsers /AV and report if I can see any relationships.
