Self topic/reply shows up as unread

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

A user, Frully, is experiencing a random issue where topics they’ve just replied to show up as unread in their notifications, even though they’re the last poster. This occurs across various browsers and doesn’t seem to be caused by firewall rules or plugins. JammyDodger suggests that this issue may be related to another topic (bottom-of-topic-shows-there-is-1-unread-remaining-when-there-are-actually-0-unread-topics-remaining) that is currently being investigated. Frully agrees that the behaviors are similar, but notes that the issue is more noticeable when it occurs with self-replies. JammyDodger decides to close this topic in favor of the other one.

Unfortunately I don’t have exact steps to reproduce - entirely random when it comes up. Have had a few users come up and say they’ve had topics they just posted in show up in their unread/notifications. Various browsers, no obvious firewall rules or plugins - one member going so far as to use a stock install for a while just to test.
Up to date chrome install >v100 (that I can test) and it’s totally random whenever a reply will result in going back to the category view and seeing Topic name(1) last post by: selfUserName.

I even had it happen here on meta with my Backup Schedules post. Unfortunately I didn’t screenshot in time. I clicked into the topic quickly thinking someone had replied to me very quickly, but it was in fact my reply.

This sounds similar to this topic - Bottom of topic shows "There is 1 unread remaining" when there are actually 0 unread topics remaining. If so, I believe someone is looking into it and will hopefully have a fix soon. :crossed_fingers: :slight_smile:

That does seem very similar behaviour - just we only notice it for self-replies because then it’s really clear that it shouldn’t be unread in the first place.

No worries. :slightly_smiling_face: I’ll close this one off in favour of the other one. :+1:
