So, something weird is going on. When I hit the forums, it tells me a new post has been made in the News section:



But when I click it, I can't see any topics that I have not read...



What is going on here? :o

Have you scrolled through several pages of the news subforum? You might find that there is an unread thread waiting for you. Also, if you had a thread from the news forum up, and refreshed it before you clicked on the news subforum, it might have counted it as already read.

Otherwise, I have no clue :P


If I helped you, click that +rep!

Hmm, I have not had this problem, but I'm sure Matt will look into it shortly. :)

FYI, the read / unread system doesn't track anything older than two weeks. If you haven't read it, but it was posted two weeks or more ago... It's marked as read.

What might have happened is that a post was made in the news and then deleted. The system was updated as if there was an unread post but it's gone. It doesn't always handle that super elegantly (will work on that, one of these days!)

Oh, I see. Well I fixed the problem by clicking the Mark All As Read button :)

Thanks for the reply!
