I think I've got that one figured out. If I go to a subforum, like General and Off Topic, and I read two or three topics and leave, which I do most visits, all threads there end up being shown as read. Now, if I go to the Bicycles forum, which I rarely go to, it'll show every thread unread since my last specific visit to that subforum.
