Ok I read the forums at work, Unfortunatly I cannot leave the forums open because after a certian ammount of time it marks everything “read” How do I turn this off??? I do not like haveing to close it out, and sometimes I cannot read an entire thread before I have to do somthing else.
you could try using the rss feed and have it update regularly 
.. run it in the background and it will remember new posts for you with the correct links
It is due to the cookie timeout which is set at 15mins, if you visit the forum and then are away for more than 15mins then the threads gets marked as “read”.
This is an overall setting, no way to set it individually.
