The topic title used to change from blue to red when I'd viewed it, but since the forum changes that doesn't happen, so I can't see which ones I've looked at now. Is it me/my machine, and is there anything I can do about it?
I've not been able to look for a few days and have forgotten which threads I was following(story of my life at present...)

    Careful, or you might meet yourself coming back!
    Mine still changes to red. Is it because you've been away for a while? It could be the threads you look at from now on will change to red.
    Sorry, I'm no use to you, hopefully someone who is will be along soon.

    Now that is a frightening thought Numpty!
    I thought the situation had resolved itself as the red bits started to appear again last night, but this morning it's back to all blue again - not very helpful as I'm feeling quite low enough at the moment.
    Now I really must go and get dressed(been up since 6-30 I hasten to add to stem those tuts of disapproval at my sluttish ways) and put the washing out and suchlike thrilling tasks.
    Later I'll contact my son and see if he can suggest anything.

    There is a 'mark forums read' up top of page on the right. If you click on that would that help?

    I've just tried it and it is working for me.

    My thread titles revert to blue after I've deleted my browsing history (I do so after every trawl on the net). Could it be this? As soon as you click on a thread it will turn to red (unless it's one that's gone into two pages or more, click on a page number other than one and the title will stay blue). DD

    Did you try it Bubbadog?

    I'm not sure if you need to do it everytime you log on or just the once but it is something to do with the new update which has cleared up a few forum issues.

    And I'm not yet sure if you can click 'mark forums read' if not logged on.

    I don't seem to have 'mark forums read'. I tried 'view unread posts' which came up with a huge list including ones I'd looked at earlier today, so that didn't help much!
    Ah well I'll just have to to muddle along for now. Thank you for your suggestions.

    It should be there. Try logging out and back in again as that is what I have just done and it did appear (but now seems to have gone)

    Right have tried logging out and back in again. It is only on the opening page but when I clicked on chit chat forum it disappeared.

    Seen it! The question now is, do I have to do it each login? And does it only apply to the current session? Just logging in and out now removed all the red from a couple of minutes previously, so I suspect the answer is yes - which actually isn't much help, as I can usually manage the memory test for the current session(!) - it's coming back the next day, or in my case a couple of days later, that matters.
    We will see...

    Getting some red now but it seems a bit random - some of the posts I know I've read aren't marked. I'll try and make a login and mark as read each day and see if it sorts itself out.

    I clicked on it fresh each day. However all the previous posts which I know I have already read are now back to blue. Todays read posts are changing to red.

    I also got a message saying 'already marked' when I clicked on 'mark forums read' today which hasn't happened before. I wonder if they'll stay marked from now on.

    Isn't this an issue with individual thread titles rather than read forums? I don't know because I've never clicked on anything like that but its title would seem to indicate that it refers to a forum rather than the threads within. DD

    Confusing I think I haven't ever done it either. I would have thought they would change colour when the whole thread is read. Then if it goes into another page and you haven't red that it would go back to unread colour???

    Too much for my small mind :oops:

    Sorry DD it should say posts not forums. Not sure where I got forums from considering I was checking then immediately reporting on this thread.

    Double checked and it IS 'mark forums read' but it is individual threads that are changing to red.

    All the other choices refers to posts.

    I've been clicking 'mark forums read' when I log in and am pleased to report that so far the red bits are staying red from one session to the next - long may it last. I agree though that 'forums' is confusing as it's the threads that are being marked.

    Thats good Daffy. My read threads revert back to blue after I log off so I'm only getting a day at a time.

    It seems to be working today. Previously read threads are red and I haven't had to click anything.

    The red seems to be sticking so I'm now going to try without clicking to mark the threads and see if it still works. Fingers crossed(which actually sums them up quite well today, they are not happy and neither am I!)
