As I read through different posts here and then return to the threads, I often get a little lost determining what thread I just came from. I was about to ask if there is a way to change the color, like many links do after being selected, when I saw the key at the bottom of the page. According to the key, a yellow star indicates an unread thread, and a grey star shows those that have been read.
However, this does not work for me. They are all yellow stars all the time so I don't know where I am on the page without re-reading the subject lines to find the last one accessed.
How can I get this to work? Or is this only after I click on "mark all read, etc? 

If that's the case, is there a way to do what I'm asking and have those "read threads" update one at a time after being accessed? Or at least to highlight the one I've just returned from to make navigation a little easier?

TIA,
