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! _Do vote on this [feature request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disable-chat-threads-in-dms/334040) if you agree with me 🙂_ --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/permanent-unread-chat-thread-indication/334030)._
