Bugs: Occasionally folders show as having new messages when they don't, submitted by Camilla

Edits seem to have that effect *NM* Submitted by Floffe on 21/09/2009 09:01:04 PM

I haven't been able to find a pattern to it. I am using firefox on a mac.

On the mb it will show as green, but there are no green folders in the thread.

I'm not sure that's always the case though. Submitted by Craig on 22/09/2009 05:15:11 AM

Edits seem to have that effect

There have been a couple times I've seen formerly-Announced threads at the bottom of the page with green folders. At first I thought it was just because they had been unAnnounced, but I've later seen them with a green folder again, with no evident edits.

So, there may still be an occasional issue.

It does look a bit fishy, yes Submitted by Floffe on 29/09/2009 09:17:55 PM

I've seen a couple of threads pop up like this today. It's more noticeable when one's set the topics with new replies to show up on top.

One of my old threads on the Sci-Fi/Fantasy board showed as having a new post today. No new posts in the thread, no new edits either.

It keeps happening to some of my posts Submitted by Camilla on 03/12/2009 10:19:19 AM

They aren't being edited or replied to. I haven't even attempted to edit them and then changed my mind. And none of the posts inside are marked as read.

So far the ones that it happens to the most on the SFF board seem to be

Now, either I am simply a narcissist and so only notice it when it happens to my posts, or this bug loves/hates me.
Or it could have something to do with reviews that have been on the front page?

The Harkaway review and interview had it for a while, but that seems to have calmed down.
