I'm having a REALLY annoying issue since yesterday. I don't know if it's related to the plugin or not, but it definitely started yesterday. Basically the chatterbox forum is constantly telling me there are new posts when there are not(i.e. the colored circle in the main index that shows new posts in forum). Even if I mark the entire forum read by clicking the circle, in 15 minutes or so it will show me there are new posts again even if there are not. It's really bugging me lol. I count on those circle to tell the truth!
It seems weird it would be related to that plugin, but it definitely started yesterday. Is there anything I can try on my end to fix it? Could clearing cookies maybe help?

I seriously doubt this has anything to do with the plugin. Maybe after we switched to ssl...you should check if something is stuck as unread and keeps causing this to you

Shouldn't marking the entire forum as read fix any potentially missed post issues?
You're right, I don't think it's the plugin either. I forgot about the other though, it seems possible.
I just tried to reproduce it in Edge which I never use and I was successful in reproducing it in both Chatterbox and Site Related Questions and Feedback. So I don't think it's any cookie thing or anything like that. Currently both sections are showing me they have unread posts in both Edge and Firefox, but neither section has any actually unread posts.

Yeah you are legitimately missing the button, that's where it should be.

Yeah I know it's just me, but I have no idea what I could do to remedy it. It persists across browsers. It only happens sometimes, I'd say about 50% of times. Once I clear it manually, someone has to make a new post and then it will happen again, showing unread even after I read it.
Note it isn't quite the same as the old bug we had with the translation forum - in that case if I read the post in question twice it would update and say no new posts. In this case I can read it a bunch of times and it doesn't.
I understand that there isn't much you can do since it seems to be limited to me, but it's really annoying!
@Strike - BTW Nobbs said he could still unhide posts, you shouldn't be missing that option either.

Oh wow, so it's not just me. That's not exactly the same though - mark all posts as read DOES work for me initially, but then as soon as a new post is made the bug returns. I can click the post a million times and it will still say there are new posts.
