  • Unread Posts Icon

    The blue icon and blue title indicate that there are unread posts. Since my post is the last post it is obvious that there are not unread posts. I have seen this same thing many times. Here is a screen shot to show what I mean:

    Hi Ron

    This may or may not be the answer, but I do think that what you are describing is entirely possible.

    For the thread you are referencing, it runs across two pages. I think if you made your last reply from page two without having revisited page one then there could well be posts that are regarded as "unread". That is, if the number of posts has caused the thread to move on to a second page since you last viewed it then you will not have seen new posts made on page one if you go directly to page two on your next visit. Those posts would then be regarded as "unread" because the forum knows you haven't seen them.

      Hey Roger, That is not the case here. I just went to this thread. I viewed the first page and then moved on to the second page and made a post. Now the Icon indicates unread posts:
