forum_read not showing posts after tracking status change

Hello,
bumping this. Does anyone have any insight?

For context, I have some code that is displaying unread forum posts to users. It cross-checks forum_post against forum_read. Once read, they are no longer presented to user. All of this is working fine since I forced tracking on the forum, except for any old posts that were posted on that forum previously. These are not being marked as read in the forum_read table even if I access / read them now with the new setting. I cannot find in the DB where these posts are marked (or not marked) as tracked. If I knew that I could potentially update them in DB to now be tracked (if my force tracking is not being applied retrospectively).

I do not understand what is stopping those posts from being marked as read if there is no tracking being stored against discussion or post, since the forum containing the discussions is now set to be tracked.

Hope that makes sense. Any help is welcome!

Best wishes

Jo
