Yep, that's what I'm thinking of. But I don't think it should work like that - closing the browser (Firefox or Chrome in my case) appears to qualify as 'logging out', although perhaps there's a time element as well (is it the same condition which means you have to re-enter your password when posting?).
Given that there's an option to 'mark all read', I don't like the new flags being removed automatically, which as Ted says often results in me missing posts. Let's face it, this could be disastrous.
