ok so theres a bunch of blue messages in the forums, which is wierd because there in sections i dont go in. the thing is saying ive read stuff that i couldntve possibly read, i just now went in there, see? so im freaking out and wondering how this could be.
A - the site glitched out and thought it knew best but truly did not
B - someone got on my account and did some reading for some reason...
C - ive been starting up my computer at night and reading silly posts.
D - im color blind.

People forget things.

Threads more then a few weeks old automatically get marked blue. Sometimes those blue threads get pulled back to the top. Thus your issue, I would guess, at least.

The forums only remember the last 1000 posts or so from each particular board. Posts beyond that are considered "missed", and are thus automatically treated as read. Generally speaking, the 1000-post memory probably takes up quite a sizeable chunk of memory on the server end (the forum needs to remember 12,000 read-or-unread post IDs per person that uses the forums).
