Well that worked on the PeeCee,

I know that yellow means "new posts",

The thing is that many times they are yellow and there is nothing new in the thread.

Have seen a few threads without yellow that I've never read, shouldn't any unread thread be yellow if that's the case.

First world problem, Hinky...

Do you use more that one device or more than one browser? I think it sets a cookie and compares the date/time of the last post in a thread to the browser cookie.
