Hello everyone, I have an issue (only for myself as far as I can tell but I believe it’s possibly happening with other users) where the unread tab on the home page shows a (1), as well as in the hamburger menu. When I click on either of these it takes me to a page saying there’s no unread messages. I did a screen capture to give you an idea of what I’m seeing. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Only thing I’ve done different recently is turned on “Watching” for a certain category. ![2019-12-12 14.27.20](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/8/887acca621d25d2f5655b9a2926ad03c5021fd50.gif) ---

That looks similar to what is described here: [Can't dismiss unread if last post is an assign or whisper](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-dismiss-unread-if-last-post-is-an-assign-or-whisper/131823). ---
