Problem with read threads

I noticed this problem start a while ago and posted a thread, and Rockin' Robbins also noticed that the forums were not remembering which threads he had read. He was using different OSs and different browsers.

I too am using multiple machines and diferent browsers. For example, on my machine at work, I can read a bunch of threads and then go home, whereupon my home PC upon logging in, displays the threads as unread. This never used to happen, so I would imagine that some part of the forum software that tracks what threas usernames have read has been broken or disabled - that's the only way it could have ever worked and is therefore not browser or OS related. I have tested this on different machines, different OSs and different browsers and the results are the same, subsim doesn't remember what threads I have read, but my individual browser does. This causes a problem when I move machines / locations.
