New post notification not going away

Post by nullplan »

Hi all,

For a while now, I've been having the problem that boards show up as having unread messages, but when I click on them, there are no new messages. And the only way to fix it is to click on "mark all topics read". Does that happen to anyone else? Is this a problem with my browser or the forum software or something?

I have this problem, too. I mentionend this here in the forum. The remedy is to click "Mark forums read".

Hm, this might be because those boards have unapproved posts stuck in the moderation queue. There's been a few posts I haven't touched recently that have been lingering in the queue awaiting deliberation from other moderators.

That has happened to me, but I hard refresh the browser (Ctrl + F5 on Firefox), and it goes away.
