What's with me seeing (1) in New, but I can't see it?

On the Forums, I see that there is a New Topic (1) but when I check the New section, nothing appears. What’s going on with that? Guessing it’s the elevation of user accounts that determine availability of topics?

Yeah that happens to me a lot too and usually if I hard refresh the page it corrects itself

I’m only guessing but it might be that someone made a new post but then it was deleted / unlisted and the new post number didn’t reflect this ?

Could be. Seeing the (1) thing and not seeing anything is always weird, for me as a helper, very annoying.

I’m pretty sure it’s a cache thing, it happens for me too. If you click the dropdown and switch to another option it fixes itself.

To me there’re 2 reasons for this:

  1. A topic gots posted but was then unlisted. The system can pick up new posts and increase the number but the opposite isn’t true; it doesn’t decrease the number when it was unlisted.
  2. You have multiple sessions. When a topic get posted all sessions will pick it up. But when you read them in once session, it won’t get reflected in the rest.
