User CP...

[imp81318]

Hi, I'm fairly new to the forum, but I've noticed that when I click on the "User CP", it sometimes displays threads that I've already read as "new" or "unread" and other times it doesn't. I would think that once I read a thread, and click back into there, that thread would no longer appear in the list of unread threads, but often it is still there. I know that there aren't any new posts based on the time the last post was made and the username. I've tried clicking on the thread a few times, and I'm right - I had already read the most recent post. Any ideas?

Also, while I'm somewhat on the subject, why is the link labelled "User CP"? What does the CP stand for? I understand it is my subscribed threads, but I don't get what the abbreviation stands for. Just trying to understand how things are setup around here a bit better...

CP = Control Panel.

As for the rest of your questions, I > too.

Look around in the control panel a little more, it's far more than just a subscribed threads listing.
