If a teacher uses setting 'Read tracking for this forum?' and chooses option 'On' then they would expect that Read tracking would be enabled for that forum. However, this is not the case. If a user does not have the option 'Forum tracking: Highlight new posts for me' set then read tracking is not enabled.
If the teacher chooses 'Optional' in the forum settings then this works as expected.
If the teacher chooses 'Off' in the forum settings then this works as expected. The course settings overrides the user settings.
If the teacher chooses 'On' in the forum settings then this does not work as expected. The user settings override the course settings
Basically this means that On and Optional are doing exactly the same thing.
Replication steps:
1. Create forum
2. Edit forum settings. Enable Read tracking for this forum?' -> 'On'
3. Edit profile of user who is enrolled in course who has access to forum. Ensure Forum tracking setting for user is set to 'No: don't keep track of posts I have seen'
4. Post new items in forum
5. Check to see that Unread posts are not showing
6. Edit profile of user again. Turn Forum tracking setting for user to 'Yes: highlight new posts for me'
7. Check to see that Unread posts are showing
I believe in Step 5 the Unread posts should be showing.
