As designed Marked unread after reading

2.1.6p

If you click into a thread and it takes you to the first unread post, and it is on page 10 of an 11 page thread, and you use the reply box at the bottom, when you post it loads the posts you haven't seen from page 11 (which was 3 posts). But you click to the homepage and New Posts, and this same thread is bold, even though you just read it (in the auto-load after posting). Thanks

I believe the situation you ran into here is as designed as the other scenario works as expected.

If you trigger this situation and we don't show all of the new posts, then we can't do any auto read marking (because we only mark a thread as read up to a time and there are unread posts that we didn't necessarily display). When replying, we only display up to 3 posts, 1 of which is what you just posted (so effectively 2 other posts). You would get a banner indicating that there are more posts to display in this scenario. If there isn't a banner, then we do have code that marks the newly displayed posts as read and that seems to work as expected.

So based on your explanation, I assume there was likely 1 post there that wasn't displayed, so the non-auto read marking is intentional.
