I’m trying to stay on top of all the posts and topics and am not able to find those I have not seen or read. I’ve read a lot of posts here and found nothing relating to what I’m looking for. I have no topics that are in black text, they are all grey. I have no posts with the blue dot next to them and yet I can’t find more. I know they exist since another moderator has more topics viewed and posts read than I do.

Find Post of Topic I haven’t Read or Seen
Discourse forum administrator farallongroup is having trouble finding unread posts and topics despite having no unread indicators (black text or blue dots). Thomas_G suggests that these posts might be in a hidden category or were deleted by the OP. farallongroup investigates and finds no recent deleted posts, then inquires about finding hidden categories. Thomas_G recommends asking the administration team, but farallongroup confirms they have access to admin-only categories. Thomas_G asks if other moderators are experiencing the same issue, and farallongroup reveals that they have found the hidden posts, which were actually hidden replies.
Hello!
You mentioned that another mod has more topics viewed and posts read. Perhaps they are part of a hidden category? Or they might have viewed a topic or post before it got deleted by the OP.
That was a thought I had since I challenged my admins and moderators to find all the posts. I had the lead total until today and it’s suspicious. I looked in reports to find deleted posts and see no recent history of deleted posts. How can I find hidden categories?
Perhaps the administration team might have a hidden category for them (only accessible to Admins). Why don’t you ask them?
We do have a couple that are for admins only. Since I’m an admin I see them as well.
Are you the only one with this issue? All the other mods/staff have the same stats?
Yes, we are trying to find them all I just just found that they were hidden replies. Now I think I can find the rest thanks!
