Read and Unread Posts

I've just posted in a thread, but because I was quoting someone, I didn't read the whole thread. (but when replying did read the rest of the thread, just to check that I wasn't repeating something someone said) I've just gone into that forum and it's come up as 'unread'. Why?

Hmmm, this happened to me in the Grief and Trauma Forum. I found that if I marked the whole Forum read, this sorted the problem.

Other people will probably be able to help by mentioning cookies [but I don't know what they are].

Cookie are something (I think) related to being logged in 24/7 or something.

Grief and Trauma Support. It's a sub-forum of Mental Health Discussion and Support. :)

It may have something to do with cookies.

Not entirely sure what you should do to sort it out but I'm pretty sure cookies play a part! (Yum, cookies.)
