Hi Graham, we do have server-side tracking per user at this point. Whenever a user visits a thread, the system checks if the user has visited it before and highlight (in bold font – threaded/list views only) posts created after that date. The current date is then saved as the last visited date for that specific thread. On the forum front page, that date is also used to paint links as visited/unvisited. You can try visiting this forum on two different computers and you should see the same link colors on the front page (topic/post links only). Please make sure you are logged in when you make this test.
