Is "View posts since last visit" broken?
Is "View posts since last visit" broken?
Has anyone else noticed the "View posts since last visit" link/search on the forum index page rarely works correctly anymore?

I've noticed a change in the last month or two.
There will be times when I'll go out and it says there are no Unread posts, however, I can see from the date code that there are some. Is this "last visit" value kept on the server? Does changing PC's make a difference?
Also, when I visit, I click "View Posts Since Last Visit". From the list, I will click on one of the posts and review it. If I click Back or go back to that list, it may or may not have switched to "Read" and instead remains "Unread". Not sure what's different, but I know it didn't work that way previously.
Would be more convenient if it would go to "Read". Helps me keep track of what's what. Thanks!

When you hit the back arrow in your browser, it should (in theory) go back to where you were last - which would be the list with the unread markers.

Once you hit back, click the refresh button, too, and the unread marker will change to read.
