That happens if a topic is updated that you have muted. Do you have any topics on mute? ---

This can also happen if the topic that caused the bump was deleted, unlisted, or moved to a category you can’t see. Does this happen frequently, or is it a one time thing? ---

It happens quite frequently, however if it is from topics being edited in a way like that (deleted, unlisted, etc) it should not be showing as a new/updated topic. ---

I may have something similar but may also have an idea as to why. When I reply to a post, then click on the hamburger menu, it will show Unread (1). Clicking on that tells me I have no unread messages. (The false update message.) Is a routine that checks for new messages and then shows the unread message counting **my reply** as a new message? I haven’t seen this happen when other users post or reply, just with my own. ---
