The yellow/white icon thing never works for me because I access these forums from both work and home, but I certainly don't feel the need to dig through the threads themselves! I load a thread in 'view all' mode, scroll past the first post to the list of replies, and look for the most recent time/date stamps and highest reply numbers. It's not instant but it's a lot faster than thumbing through the text.

I don't follow how these are in any way connected. It's like saying "the drive on the left/drive on the right thing doesn't work for me because I drive on surface roads and superhighways". It's the same mechanism from anywhere. Are you not using the mark-as-read function? 'Cause if not, that's your own fault. :)

I was under the impression it was losing my place because my work browser's cookies weren't getting updated from home and vice versa. If that's not the case, well, whatever--I don't use them at all anyway.
