This is a known bug that others are experiencing - it drives us mods crazy.
Its stored client side in a cookie "bbthread_lastview"
But looking at the
VB code, the output is buffered and sometimes cleared (which means the cookie value is either not set or destroyed)
You can reproduce this issue by opening multiple pprune windows (right click, open in new window) AND having windows open in TABS (within the the same browser window)
Apparently the thread flags get screwed up and invalid data gets sent back in one or more of the cookie instances and it just resets everything.
You could get around it by managing 'thread read' via database sessions but that would be all server side, and your server is creaky enough as it is
What would probably make it less likely to happen , is if you had a different cookie for each forum, so if the cookie value got destroyed it would only be for that forum.
