New forums

When I read threads, they don't change from bold to normal. They remain in an "unread" status. I need to manually mark all threads as read from the button on the top right.

That is a bit odd. I have not experienced that personally. I'm using Firefox and Chrome. I also test with a standard user account, so it isn't because of my Moderator permissions.

I just tested this myself, and was unable to replicate the issue you are experiencing.

Are you using your back button after reading a thread? I've noticed that it doesn't refresh the page when you press back the way the old forum did, so you still see things as being unread. If you instead click on the forum link at the top, that shouldn't happen.

Maybe that is something they can fix? So pressing back will refresh the read status on a thread like in the old forum?
 
Also make sure that you are logged in. If you are not logged in, it won't change the status to Read. That is what happened to me when I was logged in on one device and not on a different one
 
The only other small thing I noticed is the names of the mods/devs are the same as us lowly peasants. It was nice to see the gold name colors and know that they were replying to a question or updating us on something. Unless I am just missing something, which happens a lot...
