Secondly, when I press the "Mark All Forums Read" button, everything seems OK for a while. But then the next day, posts from the day or two before show up again. This also happens on a daily basis.

I don't think it's that old posts become new. I think that when a spam post is deleted, it throws off the count so that the forum thinks you haven't seen the most recent post... which no longer exists. It can't mark you as having seen the non-existent post but the post count still includes the non-existent post, so there is going to be a discrepancy until a real post shows up.

The fix would be for Mark All Read to look at the post numbers rather than the posts that still exist.

Side note, it would be nice if threads were marked as read automatically after you read them, instead of needing to manually mark forums as read.
