..."go to first unread post" button on some of the threads?

that works for me too
I just capped the inline thread since it shows the symbol and the explanation of what it does

Forty_Sixand2 · 02-04-2012, 09:09 PM

Weird, maybe this means I am moving up on "the list".

Neither option works for me on some threads.

Standard key-value pairs I assume, not necessarily 'tracking', which has a more sinister implication (often used synonymously with 'cross-site tracking'). A web application stores cookies (little files) with a 'key', like user_id, and a corresponding value, like RX35twv or something. It would look like this in the file that is stored in your browser cache: 'user_id':'RX35twv'. This application is written in PHP, so it can actually store agglomerations of cookies in a big session array ($_SESSION[]), and can maintain an assload of server data about what you've done since the browser has been open, you've been logged in, and been on the site. So somewhere, $_SESSION has a little cookie like (and I'm taking liberties here) 'thread_163543_last_read':23. At least that's my guess.
