Whenever I open Meta now, it goes to topics 1-2 days old, begore showing a ‘xx new or unread topics’, usually around 30, and when clicking on that, shows the actual recent topics.
Furthermore, (I believe this is related) there will sometimes be a count of New replies which I can’t seem to get rid of, but will disappear later.
I tried clearing my cookies and logging back in, but although it fixed it for a day, I’m experiencing it again.
And it’s not just 1 day. Earlier today, it was 2 day-old topics. Just now, I had 3 day-old topics with ‘62 new or updated topics’.
Is there a fix on my part?
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
is the same bug as Information about topic is not updated when using new & unread topics banner?
I’m not sure if Nate’s experience is the same, but to me, it feels more like jumping back to where I was hours ago when the tab has been inactive for a while. So I use the forum, get back to it later, and don’t start where I finished before, but where I started. So the unread count includes all topics I read a few hours ago.
Yesterday, it even looked like I was logged out again until I refreshed the page.
But it seems way more than that. It’s not just a few hours, but multiple days. Which is quite odd since I have been on Meta after that period on my phone.
Maybe it’s when you last logged in or something like that? I log out quite often
Hmm… I rarely log out though. Still, an interesting hypothesis. After all, I did log out just a few days ago to try and reset this. I will see if it becomes 4d topics tomorrow, if so, log out and see the next day if it goes back to 1d.
So it’s odd behaviour. I didn’t logout, but today shows 1d old topics. This seems quite erratic, and I’m trying to think what I might have done recently that could have caused this (and recent PRs don’t show any hint).
