Read or unread - The Gremlins!
Paul; I've occasionally noticed that a bunch of unread threads spontaneously become 'read' before I've got to them - similarly, and it happened at 830pm tongiht, a bunch I've already read - including some that have me as the last updater - become 'unread' again...strange....

The reason being, each time you visit the site here you activate the 900 second cookie which starts ticking. Are you sure a read one suddenly becomes unread? the only explanation I can come up with is your ISP maybe caching previously viewed pages, unless you are ported via an AOL proxy squid I would have thought this unlikely |

Definitely posts became unread again that I'd just looked at - three of them had my update as the last one so should have been 'read'...I had to go into each one again (about eight of them) to get them to show up as 'read' again in the Todays Posts menu item...
I use BTInternet, so assume the AOL proxy a non-starter? I'd agree with Zips request about the time-out, should be a bit longer |

Bat - if I read some of my unread posts then log off, does the clock start again when I log back in, and are the other unread items preserved as it were?

You mean another tab for the one topic? i.e. the old right click and 'open in new tab' routine? But according to Bat, even if you leave the original Todays Posts topic list open, it times out after 15 mins (or 20 now of course).....better get yer stop watch out Colin..

Bat does simply closing the F/fox tab/window leave me logged in, and if so for how long? That might be part of the issue...
