Final Approach
I usually read the board by clicking "New Posts" and then click "go to first new post" icon to the left of the Thread title, which opens the thread with what I assume to be the first post in the thread since my last read. (oh yea, Thread Display mode is Hybrid). In a busy thread, there may be more than one post since I last read it, scattered hither and yon (that's the hidden display parameter H_Y mode) throughout the thread.
So, after reading the post I was taken to, I reach up and click the next (of some or many) Yellow icon (indicating unread messages) to the left of the thread title. Many times doing this (can't tell you if it's ALL the time - I suspect it's somewhat intermittant), ALL the Unread messages (yellow) are set to Read (not red, Read, meaning Blue) (Geez, I'm not gonna get any help if I keep THIS up!) ...
Anyway, upshot is I've just lost the indicator for new unread posts. In a long thread, I now have to guess based on post timestamp what I've read or not...
