This has to do with the way read posts are stored. Upon each visit when you first come to the main page it just checks how many posts are in each board as opposed to the last post number you viewed. Once you go into a forum the last post number has to be bumped up to the current last post, so when go back to the main forum listing it shows no new posts. Although when you are viewing an individual board it checks each post number against your temporary cookie to see if you have read it or not. It turned out to be one of the more complex things about the program. Hopefully someday I'll have some great idea on how to do it better[]/w3timages/icons/crazy.gif[/].
