That means that it was viewing the forum as a "guest" user. Unread messages are not tracked for guest users, only for logged in users.

When you're viewing as a guest, there will be a login option on the top bar here:




I think once you have logged in once it will then take you to the login page initially after that, or something along those lines.

If you still run into problems with not going to the login page initially, you may need to alter the link that you are using to access the forum initially, try this one:
