I noticed that this forum, bug reports, was not grayed out, indicating it had one or more unread posts. When I checked, there was Nothing since the 19th. I ALWAYS make certain that the forums that I follow are grayed before I leave. Not a real PROBLEM, but maybe an indication of something.
If you access the posts via the 'All Threads by Date' section, then the other sections are not marked as read, even if you're read each thread.
To mark all the sections as read when you read all the threads, you click the checkmark on the top left of the 'All threads by Date' and you mark all the sections as read.
By the way, I hate English spelling. Read (to read) is the same spelling as Read (was read), one is pronounced 'Reed' and the other 'Red'.

I turn each green button to gray as I finish it.
After I finish I 'slide' my finger down and watch the little arrow circle as it resets.

The UK has a town called Reading (pronounced redding). Imagine trying to find something in Reading using Google! (Pro tip : locals often use a suburb, Tilehurst, as a circumvention)

In the US, we have Reading, MA & PA, and Redding, CA, CT, & IA. All pronounced the same.

There are at least 20 municipalities named Moscow in the US. Wisconsin has two Moscows, one town, and one unincorporated community.
I may possibly have been responsible for that. I posted something to a thread in that (this) section, then discovered that it was inaccurate and deleted it again. The post was up for maybe 30 seconds and I'd be surprised if you hit that exact window.

That would explain it - your post effectively altered a flag on the thread recording the time of the last update, and when you deleted your post the system does not recalculate the flag. So the window is not the 30 seconds your post was up, but the whole time until the thread is next updated.
Deleting a message is probably recorded as a second update.
In a file system, and most database software, the time that the file, folder, or table was last changed gets updated every time a user adds, changes, or deletes anything from it. The simplest way to determine the last update time is to use the time from the system; otherwise, you need to code a separate time that has to be updated every time a user makes certain changes, which is difficult.
Technical (Software Dev) Discussion:
Consider the problem that arises if you try to use a separate, more sophisticated timestamp, where posting a new message is an update but deleting a message is not. What about changing a message you already posted? Altering an existing message should be recorded as an update if the change adds content, but not if it deletes content or just fixes a typo. There is no reliable way to decide which of these has been done, so the safest approach is to update the timestamp whenever a message is changed, even if it deletes most of the original post. But if you are going to do that, you might as well count deleting the entire message as an update, too, since that allows you to use a timestamp that the programmer does not need to maintain separately.
