This is more of a suggestion for the admins. I own a vB board and know the features front and back and I'm missing having one of the features here!
I browse the forums from many devices, and my thread read progress is only kept on that device due to this setting being at 1:
Setting it to 3 isn't that more intensive on server resources but allows your thread read progress to follow you from device to device!

Thread/Forum Read Marking Type
This option controls how threads and forums are marked as read. The options are:
1) Inactivity/Cookie Based - once a user has been inactive for a certain amount of time (the value of the cookie timeout option) all threads and forums are considered read. Individual threads are marked as read within a session via cookies. This option is how all versions of vBulletin before 3.5 functioned.
2) Database (no automatic forum marking) - this option uses the database to store thread and forum read times. This allows accurate read markers to be kept indefinitely. However, in order for a forum to be marked read when all threads are read, the user must view the list of threads for that forum. This option is more space and processor intensive than inactivity-based marking.
3) Database (automatic forum marking) - this option is the same as a previous option, but forums are automatically marked as read when the last new thread is read. This is the most usable option for end users, but most processor intensive.
Setting it to 3 isn't that more intensive on server resources but allows your thread read progress to follow you from device to device!
