You know when a new post has been made in a topic and you get that little thing saying 'new' next to it, I was just wondering why after a while it says that on all the old topics that I have read, does it appear after you havnt looked at a topic for a certain amount of time? Its annoying though because I pride myself on reading every single post in the mk64, mkdd and karters contest pages since Februaury (or since the karters one started), but I have nothing to show for this as all the old topics are 'new' again. can this in any way be removed?

edit: apoligies for being annoyingly fussy

when you clear your cache, all of them become new.
