Walter,
Well, when I think "web forum software" I think installable. I'm pretty
sure the ones you named are generally all proprietary. It's certainly
rare for proprietary forum software to deal with read status at that
level, I agree.
I don't even think Slashdot has a concept of "read", but then, I don't
frequent it (or Reddit or Digg) much.

In fact, for a long while, I'm pretty sure SMF was the *only* one that
remembered topics you hadn't read between visits. Maybe FUDforum too.
Now a
bunch do it, I think. Possibly all.
All? Reddit does not, Slashdot does not, Gamedev.net does not,
Seattletimes.com does not, stackoverflow does not, digg does not, etc.
I don't recall ever seeing one that allowed marking an individual post
as "read".
