Forums are not marking themselves as "read"

I am now having to go to the bottom of the main forum page to click on "mark all forums as read." They do not automatically mark themselves as read when you read them.

Its marking as read for me. Could it be your cookie settings are preventing it from marking as read?

I believe you're experiencing the recent change to database-based tracking of read posts.

Database (no automatic forum marking) - this option uses the database to store thread and forum read times. This allows accurate read markers to be kept indefinitely. However, in order for a forum to be marked read when all threads are read, the user must view the list of threads for that forum.

Those who like the automated neatness of things being marked read en masse without reading them will not like this change. Those who want to read one thread now, come back later, and not miss a thread that was automatically marked read will prefer it.

My issue is that even after I read the thread, it will still not mark it as read. I have a Mac. I will check the cookie settings later.
