Hi, I'm using FUDforum-2.7.4 with PHP-5.2.1 and I'm quite surprised at how new messages visual notification("lighting bulb") is implemented.

Say I have forum 'A' with several new messages yet unread by me. Once I login onto the forum I see the "lighting bulb" next to the 'A' forum. Ok, I click 'A' link and proceed into the forum where I see marked threads with new/unread messages.

Now if I go back to the main page all of a sudden the "lighting bulb" goes off, just like there are no new messages. And I haven't read any of it. What's interesting is the fact that if I go into 'A' forum again I'll see the same marked threads again.

Why so?

For example, this is how it works in PHPbb - the forum has with "lighting bulb" until all new messages are read.
