Happens to me too. I had 8 unread posts just now. Checked, only 2 were new. Then clicked unread posts again, and it shows me that there are still 6 unread, although I get the message "Sorry, there are no new posts to view. You may search for posts updated during the previous 24 hours, here".
Saw this earlier today too. But I also saw this sometimes recently before the update as well.
Just thought would add that at the bottom right of every page (under the pagination page links) you will see a "quick navigation" drop down menu. This works in a similar way to the jump menu, listing all forums to quickly go to.Quote:

Rearranging existing forum structure.
Some of you may have noticed I tidied up some of the forum during the upgrade, moving some forums in together to make it easier to navigate.
I'm also planning to merge some of the lessor used off topic sub-forums. To do this I'm going to create a set of title prefixes to replace the sub-forum areas. So for example, all parts of the entertainment section could be merged into a single sub-forum, and then use prefixes such as TV show, Film, Music.. etc to indicate what each thread is actually about. And we can now click on a thread prefix to make the site auto sort the threads into just that type. So if you only wanted to view and read Music threads, clicking on the prefix for one of them will order the posts into just music threads. And clicking a prefix again will return to the full thread view with all threads visible.
This should tidy things up and make it easier to navigate.
As you can see, I've begun making the custom classicamiga forum template.
The top part is completed and should be fully working. If anyone has any issues with the layout and how it is loading please let me know.
There are still lots of little visual updates to complete this coming week to finalise the design.
looks great, i like the way wiki was integrated in the site, very nice.
I was afraid that wiki inside the layout has less visible space, but you can read and navigate easily, and still see all info. Very good.
Shouldn't new posts be highlighted? I noticed that this isn't happening anymore.

That screenshot is showing a highlighted post. It is just very subtle in the new default vB4 template, using a pale blue. Read threads have a white icon instead. I will take a look at making new post icons bolder and a more obvious colour.
Oh yeah, now I can see it :o Didn't notice that yesterday.
