Automatic mark all as read?

[Link]

I notice that after a certain time period all the topics are marked as read, even if I haven't read them. This is bothersome because I like to quickly check interesting topics at times like in the morning before school and then do a more thorough read later. Unfortunately, by that time all the topics are marked as read so it is hard to determine which ones have new posts.

Is this time period setable or disableable? What is it set to right now?

Personally I would like to see this delay set longer (to 24 hours at least) or disabled completely (so you have to manually read the topics or "mark all as read" to mark them as read), but I don't know how other people feel about this.

Disableable is a cool word.

For me, they become unread when you've looked at the forum and then left it. I think this is the case for most forums. Think.

This is a problem, perhaps pertaining to cookie timeout. Perhaps it will be fixed in the final.

I don't think it is unintentional, because it happened in the old version too.
