It's probably working as intended, but it wouldn't be my choice of configuration.
When I'm at the Main Forums page I can see each subforum that has unread posts. However, that indicator won't go off until I've actually visited every topic in the subforum. What I would rather happen is if the indicator on the Main Forums page for new post was only lit up if there have been new posts since I last visited that subforum. That way I don't have to click on every new thread in General Discussion in order to get the indicator to mean anything when I'm on the Main Forums page. Otherwise I keep on going into General Discussion, seeing that there are the same threads I didn't want to read before (with no new posts), and never knowing if there is actual new posts since my last visit to the subforum.
Confusing enough?
