I don't understand how it is that an "old" article icon is instantly placed beside a new thread, the very second it is posted to the board. It's like a slap in the face to the person, before they even get a response to the article as is posted, so whats up with this USMB?
I don't know how consistent the software is ... I think I've seen some variation based on cookies or glitches ... but I think that once you've read a thread it is called old. And if you posted the thread, then you've read it, right? So it's "old" to you. At least that's the theory I'm going with.
