Yeah, I was used to that too. It's the default vBulletin behavior to change the envelopes but not the arrows. But since it's not changed any with the persistent mark forums read hack, I assume it's too hard or would produce too big of a burden on the server to change it, like I said earlier about why persistent marking threads read would not be sensible on this system as it is. (Maybe with vB3...)
nevermind.
