    Brief Description:
    This thread continues to think that trevalynfar's post is the last unread, no matter how many times I click it.

    Instructions:
    1. Go to thread
    2. Return to its forum
    3. Refresh page


    How many times did you recreate this bug?:
    As many times as I want, 100%. It still thinks it is unread.


    I also couldn't find any "mark as read" anywhere.

    It's funny but I've having a very similar problem. Since andrew had the last post i clicked on it earlier. And of course after I read a thread and come back, the thread will be darkened out blue, but if someone replies, it turns lighter blue.

    Funny enough, this thread keeps saying there's a post I haven't read yet. It doesn't display trev's or andrew's post as new, but it keeps telling me there's unread posts.

    I want to say its because Andrew posted on it. It's highlighted as an "important post"?

    I get the same issue.

    There are many other threads where Andrew had the last word. That's not the issue.

    Yes it is, he "highlighted it".

    He didn't highlight the other threads I suppose.

    Oh. Never seen it before. Why would highlighting a thread make it look the same as unread?

    Your thinking of a sticky, he just highlighted it.

    Aka, more important then a regular thread, not important enough to be stickied so everyone can see it forever.

    Yeah, I understand why it wouldn't be sticky, but it's confusing that "highlighted" looks the same as "unread."

    My eyes usually glaze over read threads, and ignore them completely. It's only when I see an unread thread that I notice it. I assume this is the reasons it looks that way.
