Why do threads register as having unread posts when the last post is mine?
Title says it all really. I don't always have a lot of time to spend on the forums
 so I generally go to the main page for each section and see if anything new has been posted on threads I'm watching. A few times I've thought someone's made a quick response to my post only to find the "new" post IS my post.I'm guessing it has something to do with it being new since I looked at that main page (and hence would presumably be hard to recode) but I was wondering if there is any solution to this.

This started happening when Doug installed a VB update at some point and I agree that it's annoying, but I think I mentioned it to him or Marek at one point and they said it's just how it is.

Sometimes it has something to do with somebody voting on a poll (if the thread is a poll), but not posting anything.

A weird bug is if you use Tabbrowser Extensions to save sessions, close your browser half-way through browsing the forums, then re-open it, the posts you already read are marked as new again. I always assumed whether you'd visited a post was marked server-side, not client-side.
