If I read your post correct, then I think you are out of luck as there is nothing to do about it. It is a cookie "issue".
If you do not leave the forum, then no unread post should be marked as read (and if they do it sounds more like a browser issue), but if you leave the board to return - unread posts at leaving time will most likely be updated as read on return. When you access the board, it will "remember" the time you visited so that when you return only newer posts shows as unread, meaning new from your last visit.
This issue can also occur if you use tabs/new windows as that can fool the forum software to thinking you are leaving/returning and thus update the list.


I don't think there is an option do to what you request (I've not seen one anyways)
