    Description

      Having set forum view mode to "Display replies in threaded form", forum replies are displayed as nested links that must be followed to view the replies.

      In M3.5 (and I guess probably M3.6), the replies would not be marked as read until clicked and viewed.

      In M3.7, the replies would are marked as read when the thread is loaded - without having viewed them.

      It seems clear that not changing the read status until actually read is the correct behaviour, and this change/regression is a loss of functionality for some of my users.
