With the old forums unread topics would no longer appear as unread once you had closed that browser session and came back onto the forums. The new forums remember which topics you havn't read and will display them as unread. This is extremely annoying because everytime I go into the SC2 area i have to sift through 3 or so pages of topics.

Is there any way to turn this function off?

They always worked that way...? At least mine did.

Anyways, there's a button at the top right of the forum called "Mark topics read." That will mark all of them (in the event you want that) and the blue lights will go away.

Anyone know how to search for all new replies?

Thanks.
