If you visit the Forum Feedback forum, you read about this issue.
Every few days when I come into the forums to give and recieve help, I notice that some topics that I have never read or been into appear red. I know that this means "new post since last visit" but many of these I have never read before. They ought to be green.
I'm pretty sure my profile isn't hacked or anything, or else I'd find posts under my profile in this red topics, which I haven't. If I have read a thread, it appears red or white like normal, but some of these topics are completely new to me and I have not read them at all.
Is this normal for the forums?
Thanks,
