No, I mean, after they've been marked complete. Like, it was marked complete a while ago now, but if I mark it unread *now*, it will be in Unread; if I then read a page and leave, it will no longer be there.

--edit: Yes upon reflection this is actually probably the thing, since the most recently updated post is the toplevel and that post gets loaded on every page then every page I read causes me to have read the most recently updated post...

Could thread completeness reside in its own post at the bottom of a thread, instead of sharing one at the top? For post content it could have a statement of "the end" or "continued in", as appropriate.

That would be adorable.

Or "to be continued", presumably.

For Technical Reasons the main post is the one that contains metadata like "is in progress/on hiatus/completed" but the idea of something that says The End or To Be Continued etc would be adorable and I will add it to the list.

so this is a suuuper minor quibble but:

on my Windows PC (which is not even my primary device for accessing Glowfic),

your "font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;" renders as Arial, so italics render as italic Arial

and the italic Arial slants at a variety of disharmonious angles, so all-italic conversations come out distractingly ugly on this one (type of) computer.

This would be ameliorated if, say, you threw a different fallback sans-serif font with prettier italics (and that's available by default on Windows) in between "Helvetica" and "sans-serif".

I won't be substantially inconvenienced if you don't do that.

I have no particular attachment to Arial as a fallback font and it's an easy fix. Any font requests?

Looks like Verdana is popular? *shrugs*

Good news: Verdana works better for me, no problems with the letters slanting weird.
Bad news: "Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif" still makes Chrome on my computer render in Arial for some reason. "Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" renders in Verdana, but of course changes it away from Helvetica for people with actual Helvetica if that's a problem.

I don't have a suggestion to help Marri with the font settings in general, but if you go to your Chrome settings page, open advanced settings and hit the customize fonts button under the Web Content heading, you could change your default sans-serif on that machine to some non-Arial font, Ezra.
