That's actually a threads thing, IIP doesn't do anything with read/unread... the new posts within threads are not tracked individually.... (too intensive) it's the postlist.php page that actually marks them read. So if you visit the postlist page, those posts will *typically* be marked read. They system is not perfect yet.
