    Quick question. Usually when I enter a forum, I will just look at any of the threads that have the titled bolded, meaning there have been new posts since I last looked at it. My question is why doesn't this happen for stickied threads? If someone posts in a stickied thread it doesn't get bolded so people are less likely to notice anybody has commented in it.

    Is there a reason for this or a way of changing it?

    It does happen, you probably just don't notice.

    After a while the "new posts" counter gets reset and the entire site is set as being "read" by you, even though you haven't seen a fraction of the new posts.

    It's as the lads say above. You could always subscribe to them to track new posts easier.

    when I go to that page the stickied thread is reading as read (i.e. the title isn't bold)

    only new posts in the last 12 hours get emboldened i beleive. or something along those lines. You will never be alerted to all of the new posts since your last visit if you havent visited in a while, for example.
