General discussion forum trouble

Post by NoQ »

When i read the last new message in "general discussion", the icon of this subforum often remains red, even though i don't see any unread messages, and i don't believe i missed any. "Mark forums read" button usually fixes the problem, but it comes back again pretty soon. The problem isn't there with other subforums. Is it just me? I'm using google chrome now, but this is hardly browser-related.

Right now the trouble exists again, even though it doesn't arize every time a new message is written in General discussion. Probably someone could check out the forum DB to find out what's wrong?

P.S. Created a ticket on this.

I think when you look at a moderated post and then approve it, the forum it's in as marked as having unread posts, though you've actually read them.

I didn't really understand anything in this message, but the issue didn't show up for a while. Probably i just had a hallucination :roll:
