It started happening to me recently, that reading certain threads here on PPRuNe, does not mark them as read. When I enter the thread later, and click on "go to first unread" (or whatever the name of that button was), it goes to the message that was unread last time too (does not update). The strange thing is, that it only happens on threads that have a small number of messages. The long threads (like the BA 777 thread, or the Hudson ditching) work as before - reading new messages properly marks the threads as read. Using the "mark forum read" forum tool fixes the forum - until next time.
Has anybody seen this behavior, and have any advice how to fix it? I don't know how the forum handles the read message info - would clearing its cookies help? I'm using Firefox on WinXP, and the effect started happening this week, after working properly for years.
Edit: even now, this same message that I posted, and re-read several times, appears as unread, when I look at the forum.
