Read Thread

I have noticed lots of threads still show new posts after I have read them. I can go in several times and it still lights it up unread. The only way to get rid is to mark all forums read.................can be quite annoying. Is this a chrome issue?

It could be but i don't use it so not sure
it could also be your cache might be holding them as new posts
try clearing your cache out after looking at the new posts

It is most likely to be a thread that has a poll attached, if you have read the last comment and then someone votes, this then updates to being an unread post.

That was going to be my suggestion as well.
I don't see how it can be your browser as the unread posts is saved by the forum against your user and when you click new posts it uses this saved info to generate your unique new posts page. It works the same way for showing you the read/unread icons as well.

Once your logged in most pages displayed will be generated uniquely for your username

Then you have a problem, perhaps you have been where no-one should go and picked up a virus?

If it was the same for everyone, surely we would all be suffering?

These things happen even when we think we know what's going on.

No virus. Its the same on Linux

So- This is definitely problem with Chrome. It happens on every thread I have either commented on or that I have read. I click it to read the new comment and there hasn't been one. Looking on Internet Explorer and Firefox it doesn't happen.

Edit: Clearing of cache fixed

Well a PC forums no good then! A trip down the Vets & a large shot of Penicillin would be better, er ...... or so I'm told!

Slightly different thing but lately I get a pop-up coming on to left of the screen showing me related research topics -it started on the Accyweb quiz and then after on here too. It hampers my quiz playing and is a nuisance -any ideas how to get rid of it most welcome! It doesn't come up anywhere else...
