another cookie "issue"

My cookies are keeping me logged in just fine, however the only problem I have with the cookies are:
1. When I visit the site and keep it on a page for awhile, by the time I change to another forum, it has said that I read them already and there are no new threads.
2. When I go to the boards in the morning and just read up on general forum, that tells the cookies that I have read every forum, not just the one I was in. In this case, I can't tell which posts are new or old in the others that I haven't been in.
Does this make sense ? LOL
If so, is there a way to fix this ? Most of the time I dont have time to read all the forums, which makes the rest look "read".
Thanks.

Down at lower right of page is a link to "mark all forums read". It is beside "log out". Have you clicked that recently?
I would delete all cookies and try again to see if it does it again...

No. Neither of those are the problem.
Does your work correctly ? If you only visit the general forum at 1pm and you come back at 230pm, the others still look "untouched" ?
If so, that sucks.

I've seen this happen with caching of pages through AOL, but your not on AOL are you?

It's just the way vBulletin is setup I believe... Once you leave the site for a set amount of time (like 15 min.) it resets all messages to read, and only reports newer ones as unread... Makes some sense.

Oh OK. I see how that works.
I guess for those of us who only get a few minutes here and there to read, it makes it hard. I can usually only get through general forum and maybe games or hardware before having to do something useful and when I come back, everything is marked read. Grrr....
Oh well. I'll deal.

the who's online page refreshes every few minutes and will keep you online... Although it's a waste of resources.

Yeah, I've seen that happen before.
