Permanent unread chat Thread indication

After the latest update (2caf5d79ba), my chat bubble and “My Thread” menu item show a unread indicator, it does this in the top bar, sidebar, and the chat modal itself.

There is no unread thread, I’ve clicked them all, and I can’t find any way remove the unread marker.

@MarcP can you update to latest and share more details / screenshots about the unread thread notification?

Feel free to send a PM if there are any PII :+1:

This can be different thing, but all Apple’s i-devices shows the blue dot. Androids are fine. Threads aren’t in use. Has been such that this week, upgraded three times and last time was Friday.

I still have the permanent unread indicator on all my Apple devices, I don’t use Android.

Also deleted the threads that I had visible in the thread tab. So there is now nothing that is, or could be “unread”.

I solved out my case. It wasn’t a bug per se but could counted as an UI question.

A while ago AI-personas started using threads in 1:1 chats. At the same time I stopped chatting with an AI because I dislike threads deeply in chats. At some point we got possibility to use threads in every channels and if I remember right that persistent unread spot lid at same’ish time.

I use mostly iPad and chats are full screen. But few moments ago I logged out from my forum, and after login I opened chat, and because it can’t remember its state I saw same notification spot on threads. But I didn’t have any unred threads. Then I realized it. That damned last coversation with AI that moved right away in thread mode, and I jumped off changing to DM.

So, I opened that lonely one comment thread and the green spot disappeared.

It is difficult to show what is indicated, when using full screen chats. But if it would use different colours perhaps? Green for category based channels, blue for private ones and amber for threads?

And just now I understood I was actually on topic when I first time answered. But I couldn’t understand it because, you know, I never use threads — except that one time :man_facepalming:

I wish this was the case for me… Happy you were able to fix it tho!

“You don’t have any threads yet. Threads you participate in will be displayed here.”

I got same, And yet, I still had one unread thread. Perhaps it doesn’t understand private chats :man_shrugging:

Indeed it was in some of my AI bot chats… it took me a while to find the thread, there is no actual unread marker visible per-thread.

I honestly wish we could disable threads completely… it’s a very “aggressive” feature in the way that a new thread is created on every simple reply (why?!) to a message by default, even if I don’t intend to create a thread, but I just want to reply to a not-the-most-recent message…

I hate them with the current logic and I feel like they’re shoved in our throats. They kinda make sense for AI bots, but not as a globally default setting without a choice to disable them.

Normal chat became part of the workflow, so disabling the chat feature completely at this point is also not an option even though I’d love to - just because of threads.

Sorry for the Sunday rant, goodnight!
