I want to address a problem that has been bothering me at irregular intervals for months: Like most users, I follow topics, or not, depending on my preferences. However, there has been a problem for some time now: sometimes random topics here are suddenly marked as read fully automatically, even if I haven’t clicked on the topic at all. This doesn’t really matter for the non-subscribed topics, but for the subscribed ones there is no marking of how many unread posts there are… because they are marked as read. For myself, I found a way to ‘fix’ it: as soon as I post in these topics, the behavior immediately goes back to normal. I wasn’t able to identify a system behind the error. neither in terms of time nor are the same topics over and over again. today e.g. ‘lilith’, ‘queen’ and ‘harmony’ (already ‘fixed’ with a post) are affected I don’t know how long this has been happening, it first happened after the forum software crashed many months ago Am I the only one this happens to? ---

I have a problem as well, but, it is exactly the other way around. Even after i read everything from a Topic, it is still shows me as unread. My “fix” is to close the forum and open it again ---

It varies, I’ve had it on Queen, Clara and Stas, Harmony, Tyrone and Cindy and others on occasion. Doesn’t happen all the time to the same ones. Like I said, it varies. Also comes and goes. ---

Let me know when you notice it happening with a specific topic, we’ll check if we can see any connections too. From said above, sounds like a intermittent bug which will be hard to track or fix (what is usually done from Discourse side) 😿 ---

We just have to be careful now that the two problems ‘ **topics are automatically marked as read and thats why there is no mark for new posts** ’ and ‘_the mark for new posts doesn’t disappear even if I have already read the topic_’ do not mix too much. I was actually only concerned with the first case… ---

I don’t know where to post this so i’ll try it here. Does anyone else have this problem for the last couple of days ? Almost all i get into notifications is this “Earned Nice Reply” ![bandicam 2024-03-20 14-41-55-161](https://forum-cdn.spyhub.tv/uploads/default/original/4X/a/a/0/aa0a15c9efd2fc087c7c8438f8fbae51a629f65c.jpeg) I suspect that there might be a glitch or error ? Just checking further, that “Nice Reply” supposed to happen when a post get’s 10 likes (hearts). ![bandicam 2024-03-20 15-02-31-389](https://forum-cdn.spyhub.tv/uploads/default/original/4X/3/a/d/3ad372fed4da2a172fc14df1c664c83828bf52be.jpeg) Not a single one of my posts, awarded with that badge recently, had 10 likes (hearts) reactions but at least 10 reactions all together. I am sure now that there is a glitch. Maybe @kaya can look into this ---

Normally you only received this “award” if a posting received at least 10 hearts. This award has already been available for 10 emojis for a few days now. I don’t know if that’s what VHTV wanted, but I find it pretty annoying.
