Unread count showing 1, when there are no unread topics

This just started happening a few days ago, and it just happened again.

Discourse showed that I had two unread topics. I clicked on the ‘unread topics’ link and it brought up the two threads. I opened one thread, read it, and then opened the other thread and read it.

Then Discourse showed that I had 1 unread topic. When I clicked on that message, it said I had no unread topics.

If I refresh the page instead of clicking the link, the ‘1 unread topic’ message goes away.

Not a big deal, but certainly annoying.

I’m also getting this a lot the last two days. I hit refresh and it clears up though.

Chrome on Win 11 with Discourse-classic Theme.



I moved this from About This Message Board to Site Feedback

Thanks.

I should add that I’m running Chrome on Win 10 with Discourse-classic Theme.

Same here ( using Android app)

I’m really getting tired of this. Every single time. This is a new problem, started around Nov. 1 and can’t someone fix it???

What do you refresh and how does i clear anything up? I tried clearing the page I’m on, the note that says I have one unread, the reply that says there’s no unread. None of those clears anything up. The reply is still that there are no unread and the next time when I’m told there is 1 unread, there is still no unread. This just started, so surely someone can figure out what they did to cause it and fix it.

I just hit F5 to refresh the browser.

This is where you need to refresh. You can do this:

Or, in Chrome, I can either click the circular arrow to the left of the address bar to refresh, or I can right-click anywhere on the page and select ‘Refresh’, or I can do Cntrl-R.

Once you refresh, the ‘1 Unread’ message goes away.

But, dammit, it’s been a couple of weeks. FIX THIS!!

Apparently we are not important enough to get any help with this. The problem began only a short while ago and clearly is because of something the folks at Discourse DID. One assumes they keep track of things they do (maybe a rash assumption?) so it ought to be easy enough to FIX IT. Ok? Is anyone out there???

Bumping to note that it’s been damn near a month since I reported this issue.

So I will repeat: FIX THIS!!!

I can verify, it is still happening. I’m getting 1 unread and the count should be 0.

I bumped this up to the Modloop, from there it will probably bump up to Discourse Staff.

Thanks.
