OK, I understand that. But why would the entire forum and every post in it be marked as read as soon as you enter it? I don't recall seeing that behavior before. I noticed that the 7.6.1 upgrade includes a NEW beside unread posts. That seems like it would resolve this issue, so I'm going to upgrade today and see if it does.
