Forums laggy with (read/unread) threads.

Sometimes all unread posts get after one minute automatically read.

Threads I have read or already answered aren't marked unread.

Why always me?

Re: Forums laggy with (read/unread) threads.

That's the default FluxBB session behavior.

I feel like there's emphasis on "all unread posts are marked read"... are you saying it's default session behavior that's being incorrectly fired too soon?
Or that knowing which unread posts weren't read is unnecessary?

Usually the FluxBB default session lasts for 30 minutes before it expires.

^this

the forums wait 30 minutes before updating each user's last visited time. It'll do it sooner if you hit the log out button instead of just leaving. That's all server-sided though. Before that 30 minute mark, the forums use session cookies to determine which topics you have and haven't read. It'll default to "unread", so unless he's logging out it doesn't make any sense that it'd mark things read that haven't been read.
