    Aight, i seem to be the only person in the friggin WORLD who has this problem. Ive asked everyone i know, not sure if i posted this before but it didnt show up in the similar threads section.

    The browser is Google Chrome.

    The problem is that i visit my gaming guilds(2 of them) and an authors websites. If i leave the page open, or read just ONE thread, they all become marked as read.

    This started happening just on my dead presidents gaming guild website. But now its started happening on my STO forums and my Terry Goodkind forums websites.

    Doesnt seem to happen here, on the WoW forums, or on any of the 5 motorcycle forums that i frequent.

    None of the boards use the same setup or forum host.

    Anyone have ANY ideas?

    (this can happen either when at or away from the pc so i know its not me just being a dumbass by pushing a button or hitting mark as read on a page, EVERY time i visit these specific pages)

    Could you send some screenshots of your problem?

    Its really not a screen shot type of problem.

    Just one minute i go to a website, take my dpguild.net. Ill go to the forums page, It will show many topics that should have replies. Ill check one thread, come back to the main page and all the threads will be showing that there are no new topics.

    Also didnt add that it usually only happens once per day, but to all of the websites i listed.

    Ill try to get before and after screenies tomorrow if i can, if you think it will help.

    I had the same problem when accessing my emails on gmx.com.

    The most recent email got marked as read, even though I hadn't opened it.

    Turned out to be a default setting on that site and I had to review the defaults and alter them.

    Hope this gives you some ideas.

    Is it only one website that does this? If so, then bigbazza has an excellent solution. Otherwise, I'd say reset chrome to defaults.

    Its 3 different websites, but not all websites with forums.

    And its only when i visit it the first time of the day. (the time of day doesnt matter, but its always the first time of any day i go to said sites)

    Thats why its got me boggled.
