At Pocket PC Thoughts I am a registered user, and have my browser set to automatically log me on. This works when I visit via IE.
When my RSS client FeedDemon visits it seems to be recorded as a visit and my "New Posts" counter is reset.
I notice this when I visit the front page as well, without visiting the forums. Is it possible for the New Posts counter to be only reset when a forum message is read, rather than the site visited in any way?
