It's done that for me since I signed up. I have to "walk the tree" back up out of each forum in order for it to catch the status change... meaning I have to scroll back to the top of the page, click on the next link up (usually the forum name), then click back to the "straight razor place" top link and then go down into the next area. If I do it any other way it doesn't register as read.
