    Maybe a glitch in the software - just go QuickLinks > Mark forums read and monitor the situation.

    No I don't see that - search URL's are not accessible - to any one.

    Little misconception here I think - 'You have xxx unread posts' is not an indication that you are subscribed to that those threads - the number referred to is the number of new posts since you last marked the forums as read. The figure will continue to grow until you re-zero the count by marking the forums read as I posted above and will then increase again with the addition of each new post.

    The only threads that you are subscribed to are those which you initiated and those to which you replied.
