I'm default blue.
I have AdBlock on one machine, but not on this machine.
There are about 3 primary machines I access using. 2x Win 7 and one Win10.
When I travel, I also use a local office work computer (like now).
This issue has occured on every platform I have used.

You might also ping Scott Dyer and Terry Carraway to see what they're running since they seem to have reported the same thing.
Something else I'm doing is using just "AVSIG" for my "Theme". If browser sessions are under suspicion, then I think themes are fair game. The AVSIG one seems the most "raw vBulletin".
Interestingly, the last time I saw this, I had switched one of my browsers back to the default "VFR Blue".

Originally posted by Russell Holton View PostRight. I understand (I think) how the "unread" works by message/thread. The problem we're experiencing is by section. From what I've seen, the section flags have to be cached somewhere. (I'm seeing a "lit" section, when all the threads inside have been read and were read some time ago.) The question is, what triggers the update to the cached flags? Activity on my part (returning), or does it keep a running tally when I'm away?
From what I'm seeing, something goes astray with that "tally" when I return (either a mis-calc while I was away or upon my return). It isn't until I do something that forces it to re-check the section that it resolves.
If you can launch AVSIG in a clean browser session and religiously hit the page refresh to show the new message flags, then report anomalies, I think we'll get closer to sorting this out.

Originally posted by Russell Holton View PostThat's fine, but what happens to the section flag for a "not yet read" message?
Maybe more to the point, when does the system update the section flags for someone? Is it as messages are added? Or as people become "active"?

Originally posted by Russell Holton View PostMike, any possibility that a new message is created in a section and then when finalized, it moves to another section? I'd expect a "new message" to set everyone's section flag. If the message is later moved, the flag may not get re-evaluated.

I left it on, in case Mike wants to look at it.

I always close my browser sessions. At least the tab, not the entire window.
I run Adblock at home, but where I am right now, no ad blocker.
And this seems to randomly pop up. And as stated before, I spend time on other vBulletin forums without this issue.
