i dont think my view new post thing is working quite right cause road to metal gear was not in my new posts and some others werent there also that i had not read before any suggestions help?

ya it does that sometimes don't worry about it. It sometimes takes awhile to show up.

There's no real answer other than that it's an imperfect system. For example, if I'm viewing a topic, then open my PM box in a new tab, use that tab to browse the forum, and then switch back to my original tab, all topics usually get marked as read. Then other times, I'll view a topic 10 times before anyone posts and it still shows up as unread.
