AC Forums "unread" count inaccurate suddenly

Sorry in advance. If there is a "AC forum feedback" section that this should go in, I would post it there, but I didn't see one.

For the last few days, the "unread" post counts listed next to each thread are inaccurate. They all just list the total # of posts in the who thread, not the "unread" ones.

For example, if a thread has 31 total posts and 3 new ones since I last visited it, it still shows 31 unread. Even threads I have posted in exhibit this behavior (including my own posts in the number of "unread" posts). As in the shot below ..

It's not too big a deal obviously, but for the first few times I thought I missed 25 posts from a thread I was following and I only missed one. Again, not the biggest deal.

Did you guys update the forum software lately or something? I never had this issue before ..

There were updates made to the forum a couple night ago and we're seeing some issues since. This is one and the Site Admins are aware of it. Thanks for your post and I'll move it to the correct forum (Site Feedback and Help).

Thanks for the quick feedback!

Yeah, no fix yet. Yeah, very annoying. Sorry for the troubles, mates.

My weekly check in on this. This is turning into a perennial problem it seems :-/
 
Is one of the other problems that I can't "Mark this forum read" but I can "Mark Forums read". I'm posting here because it sounds like the admins are aware of other issues.

Weekly bump, help! :-)

Sorry, nothing yet, still the same problems. On the apps the only safe way to catch up with the unread posts is scrolling all the way down the Timeline. Not exactly ideal. :(

The unread post count is greater than the number of posts in the thread. This is on my PC.

My eternal weekly bump on this.... :-( The problem that won't go away ...
