I made some screen shots of whats going on and compared it to another forum.
I'll run you through what they are:
Pic 1: Home screen
Pic 2: Clicked "Whats New", shows "new threads". You'll see i take note that the next 3 threads are "Switch Panel--IamJeep Style", "New member in northwest NC" and "Computer Security software".
Pic 3: Clicked "Switch Panel---IamJeep Style
Pic 4: Clicked "Whats New" again. You'll notice that the thread i just read is now gone. The other two remain. There are now also 8 threads returned in the search of "whats new".
Pic 5: Clicked "New member in northwest NC"
Pic 6: Clicked "Whats New" again. The thread i just read has disappeared, only the Computer Security software thread remains and we're down to 7 results.
The above happens regardless if i click "Whats New" or "New Posts".
For comparison, the next 3 pics show how other forums handle this.
Pic 7: Clicked "Whats New". I'm going to click the thread with the arrow pointed to it. Take note that all of the threads are in BOLD font.
Pic 8: I clicked that thread.
Pic 9: I clicked "Whats New" again. The thread did not disappear... it is still in the results list. BUT, it's no longer BOLD which means I have read it. The other non-bold threads are new results that I have not read. If someone replies to that thread, it will turn BOLD again.
