Question About Subscriptions

[Sir Big Jugs]

Hi!
In another forum I visit, when I press the "User CP" button it will list those topics I am subscribed to that have been posted in since I last visited. Once I open the topic and look at the latest replies, that topic will disappear from the "User CP" view until someone posts in it again.

Here, however, the topic will not disappear from "User CP" view once I check out the latest replies, but instead stay there even after I've checked it out. This gets confusing when you don't know what topics have new replies, and which ones you've already checked.

Here's what the other forum looks like once I've checked all new replies, the topics are no longer listed:

I tried searching, but didn't find any previous info on it; is there any special reasoning behind this setup? I personally find the other one easier to handle.

Thanks,

P.S. There's a spelling mistake in 'User CP>Edit Your Details>', it says "List your favortie submarine simulation or game".
