Do you see something like "Top > General Discussions" at the top of the page? You might be going just to the General Discussions conference instead of the entire forum. Try clicking on Top and see if that gets you all the forums. When I mark a forum as read, it always takes me back to the conference I was in instead of all the forums.

Do you get a selection of pages at the bottom? Also, you should check your preference settings. You might have it set to only show you the most recent topics. If so, change it to show all topics. You can change your preferences under the User Menu button across the top of the page: http://forums.carrionfields.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=user&saz=change_preference

Please let me know if that does the trick. If not - has anyone else run into this and were able to fix it? Please share your tips and tricks.
