Possible bug? Forum doesn't mark topics as read when you open them in a new tab?

[XOIIO]

So this is something I noticed when I first started using the forum actually but took a hiatus and forgot, the forum doesn't mark topics as read when you open them in a new tab, I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue. I'm using Firefox.

It also seems to not always mark threads as read even if you just click on them, possibly due to having other topics open in tabs, not sure.

It's minor but I figure I'd see.

I can't make it fail, not in IE, Chrome or Firefox. Even when you copy the link to another browser and then refresh the unread page the topic is gone as it should be.

Hi

I did see the bug in the last couple of weeks but now it is not doing it.

Only there if you were a page or more behind and opened the page in a new page. a few refreshes ( or press the all option) and it will be up to date.

I open new tabs all the time, but it still works.  I think you have to read a topic for a little while before the "mark as read" goes through.  Popping in and out of a thread, very quickly, often leaves it unmarked.
