This morning the "unread posts" button keeps telling me there are none. "Updated Topics" says otherwise, as I would suspect havibng been offline for 24hrs. Looks like a bug to me.

I suspected something like this a few days ago but thought it was probably only me

I get it quite often, when I can see there are responses to say an AAR I have posted, but nothing comes up when I use the Unread Posts button. The same thing happened on the old forum too.

Seems ok ATM, an intermittent bug then. My work rounds - use updated topics, or scroll to the bottom of the home page and hit the new posts. Fu**ing computers  >:(  :o

I just tried the Updated Topics buttons and found 150 pages worth of stuff I'd missed :o . I tried clicking mark all messages as read to clear the backlog as it were, but it only clears one page at a time!

I'll have to chase this up and see what's causing it.  I would suspect that the 150 pages of Updated Topics is probably to do with the upgrade, where it's showing a whole pile of threads that haven't actually been updated?

It has continued after the upgrade Leon, but not sure why. Using a mix of Ian's suggestions works for the moment.

Hmmm, the Updated Topics missed out two new topics this evening, one on aerials for AFVs and the other on Scams. Confused? I certainly am :(.

Leon I'm now not getting unread posts or updated topics.....

Interesting thread - I don't appear to be missing any threads or topics (based on what people are saying here).

But I tend to read most of the threads and them mark all the others I've not read/don't want to read as 'Read' so my Inbox is mostly empty (it's a work habit, as working in an organization with 110,000 colleagues, your Inbox can become overwhelmed if you are not careful  :D )
