When I log out -- and it does not matter what operating system that I am using at the time -- I must make certain that none of the tabs are displaying a forum page. If a forum page is displayed when I am logging out, then all of the threads in all of the fora are marked as unread read. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this phenomenon?

Forum threads have always all been marked as read for me when I close the browser, log in from another machine, log into another server (US vs UK) or even just leave not perform any activity for an extended period.

I guess what I am hoping for is that Dan42 will add this to his -- admittedly long -- list of things to work on.

I think it is an inherent issue with this version of phpBB - not the only site where I have had to put up with this, although the added complication here is that if I log into the main part of the site but do not access the forums, it still marks everything as read.

Another site with this behaviour had been http://forums.animeuknews.net/ (also using phpBB), although since they were recently forced to upgrade the forum software it has been remember my read/unread status.

Ditto. As far as I know, all phpBB-based fora I've visited have the same functionality / problem.
