At 10pm Central, there are 7 unread posts listed under "New Posts."
Looking at each of the forums, The unread Posts are:
1 in the Emergency Prep on CoVid
1 in Fitness
1 in Visitor (this thread)
1 in General (by CBent)
and 3 in Frugal
So 7 items are highlighted when I go to the specific forum, and 7 when I go to New Posts.
I do use Chuck's technique of clicking on the Mark Forums Read button when there are things I don't want to read (after opening up the ones I do want to read) so I don't end up with pages of unread things. I guess that means it is working right for me but wrong for some of the others of you?
Just to clarify, there were 7 unread posts since the last time I had looked which was maybe 30-60 minutes earlier. For those of you who hadn't looked all day, there definitely should have been more than 7 posts!
