Once you close the internet, it ends your sessions.  The unread posts are only the new ones since you were last on the comp.  That's what it does for me.
I think you underestimate the level of my sneakiness

But like I am usually always signed on NH.com and the browser is always open that's why i didn't know what was going on

For efficency reasons the server automatically kills off your session after a certain length of inactive time. This causes a log off (which can be unnoticed if it's set to auto-login each time). So you lose all your "unread sinse last login information".
