Status of threads... unread, read & new reply color coding

is unreliable and inaccurate. It's unbelievable that forums are in such a state of confusion and disrepair with all kinds of rampant problems that do not get fixed or else more are created when attempts are made! It may be the software is beyond repair? Sad

Sorry folks... but this is becoming too much of a pain!

Is another example this morning where the post moves up on the forum, showed an earlier last post date even though there was one later... yet the circle was coded grey. Angry

Maybe someday... but won't bet my life on it!

Much time wasted every day going to threads that are already read and all links in the chain are dimmed. At other times the main post will be dimmed but will find a new unread post if you check. So the forums are completely unreliable! Sad

Another gripe of mine is every day the browser cannot find the link OR it takes forever and a day for the page to finally load.

I need to scroll through an entire thread quite often to pick up an unread post even though there is no "next unread message" (or whatever it's called) button available.
