I have noticed something over the last few days; it may not be be a bug so I am hesitant to raise it as such however it does represent a change in behaviour. Items I have visited no longer remain highlighted in e.g. the Recent Changes page. Given the volume of throughput we now get, I found just flicking down and noting them would enable me to see articles I was involved which had changed in at a glance. This no longer appears to the case.
Is this happening continuously, or just to items that you last visited prior to the afternoon of the 15th (in which case the URLs have changed from www.wikipedia.com to www.wikipedia.org, and your browser will not recognize them as the same)?
If you want to be sure to see changes to articles that you might be interested in, may I recommend using the Watchlist? Pages that you have added to your watchlist (click "Watch this page") appear in bold in the Recentchanges list, even if you log in on a different computer or with a different browser. (You must be logged in for it to keep track, naturally.)
