One thing ive noticed is that If im click on a topic from the sidebar, "Latest forum topics", which has a little green ! next to it. After clicking the topic from this bar and reaching the topic, when I look at the sidebar it still has a little green ! next to it. I have to refresh the page for it to go away. Is this a possible error?
Possibly to be expected as you actually have to view the new posting for it to be marked as viewed.

It is a little annoying. I suspect the "latest forum topics" area gets loaded first which notices posts unread, and then the forum itself is loaded which marks the post as read. I'm not sure it's a bug but "just the way it works", nor am I sure whether there's a way to fix it.

Same happens with the PMs, incidentally.

There is a "mark all topics read" button but only on the index page.

Regarding the index/recent topics 'debate', I seem to have stumbled across something interesting. If you double-click on the 'Forum' link it appears to show the index page, but one click shows the Recent Topics page.

I know this was updated. Today I selected the sub-topic 'Hosting' and clicked "Mark all topics read". It updated, but I found it updated all topics in the forum.
