well, how about this... what would you expect to happen if you don't have the Remember Me checked?

I would expect the system to remember what threads I've visited whether I stay logged in or not. I would think that when I visit a thread, an entry could be made in a table that I visited a thread at, say 23:52 on February 1, 2010. Then, next time I hit the forum, a query could be done - if there's any posts entered in that thread after 23:52, bold it for me. Of course, it would have to do this for every thread on the page. If I never visited a given thread, there'd be no entry in the table, so the code should assume I've never read that thread.

I'm sure it's more complicated than this - like maybe you don't want every single thread that I haven't visited back to the beginning to be bold, but I'd be thinking along these lines.
