I’m with Shane in that when I post on a thread and then refresh only the New posts on the “unread” threads appear. The threads I’ve already read don’t appear. It’s making my life even more miserable than it already is.

Hey All,
I've been looking deeper into what we're seeing with forum and thread marking, and I've got some bad news: This is an irreversible side effect of the upgrade. Basicaly, the way it used to work in older versions of vBulletin has been dropped for a new and "improved" way of doing this.
A little bit more detail: Older versions of our forum software would use a "cookie" based technique, where your computer/phone/tablet would "remember" which threads you had seen. One of the bad points of this old technique that you may have experienced is that if you change devices, the old TBH would "forget" which threads you had viewed on the other computer. The new technique links your viewed threads to your TBH login, so no matter which computer you're on, it remembers which threads you've viewed. If you want to read more about this, check out the additional links at the end of this post.
There's one idea that I want to throw out there as something that might help: I hear y'all rely heavily on the "New Posts" page to show both posts you've seen and haven't seen. While I can't fix that, I've added a new button labeled "Today's Posts". When you click on it, you'll be shown all the posts from today, both read and unread. Can y'all please give this a shot and let me know if there's something else I can do to improve the experience.
I don't want to make y'all's life any more miserable! Keep the feedback coming.
Thanks!
Scott
