This started within the last couple days that I have noticed. After going to a specific forum that you are subscribed to, and either reading all the threads or marking the forum as read - then going back to Your Forum Subscriptions, the -> Arrow symbol doesn't change to an "X" anymore - so it always looks like there are unread topics.

No one? Come on...I notice the Icons for "Recently Read Topics" accurately reflect whether there are new posts or not (after first clicking on My Controls)

But no fix for "View Forums"... or even a response

Also the icons for "View Topics" never change from "new posts" either.

View forums is working fine, only the view posts is not working correct, i thought that i saw that ipb fixed that in next release.

Well they work, in that they display and function - but they always indicate NEW Posts now.
"View Topics" was always broken in that respect, but it was only in the last week or so that "View Forums" started exhibiting that behaviour.

view forums is working fine here. what browser do you use? i use IE here..

Opera 8.50, the thing is, that until approximately 7 days ago, View Forums read/unread icon worked perfectly fine.
