Removing NEW status from topics - behaviour changed?

@NateDhaliwal

but IIRC the link won’t be grey on the topic list (it’ll still be white).

Hmm, you’re right, I hadn’t noticed that.

So as far as I can tell this behaviour has indeed changed at some point.

@sb56637

I’m 99% sure that it used to wait until the user scrolled down to (and presumably read) the last post in the topic for it to be registered as having been read. I think there was even a slight minimum time that the user needed to remain there before it was considered as having been read. Now it seems to be marked as having been read as soon as the user enters the topic at any post level.
