When I'm away from CT for a bit and things are busy here on the forum, for some reason the "Show unread posts since last visit" function only shows 4-5 threads. After reading those threads, if I click the link again I'm told there's nothing new, but the forum suggests I should try the "Show unread posts" function. Doing so usually shows darn near a full screen of threads with new posts (depending on how busy the place has been) that have new posts since my last visit.

It's probably some sort of cookie issue, although I'm not running any sort of non-standard configuration. I'm just pointing it out here in case someone else is wondering why after a break, only four or five threads received comments while they were gone.

I'm guessing that show all unread threads will show everything going back to the beginning of the forum the first time a user tries it, folks will probably have to hit "Mark forum read" once to reset the counter to make sure only new unread threads appear in the future.
