I'm getting frustrated at this forum technology, but it's free, so I guess you get what you pay for.  Last week, the threads still said new after I looked at them, so I deleted my cookies and went through the whole speil.  Now it's doing it again!  But, some threads will stay as new after I read them, while others will reset.  I don't get it.  I never hit the back button, I always go up to the top of the thread and click the link back to the main page of the forum.  I tried closing my browser and reopening it.  I am not deleting my cookies again!  Those threads will forever stay as new, I don't care!
