(I'm aware that there is an obvious answer here but it still bothers me sometimes.)

I'm not a programmer, so I think (think, not saying I know) when you click on a thread, the forum software records the Post # of the last post on that thread.
Ex. Random Thoughts Thread, flip; last post on thread clicked: #666
The next time you go to a RTT and there are new posts, and click view last post read, the software directs you to Post #667
Just a very simple comparison
