ok, everywhere on the site has a.... problem. it still says that a topic is "new" when the most recent post was, like a year ago! is this just a glitch, or am i just imagining things?
Nothing to worry about. That just means you haven't read those threads yet. If it really bothers you, just click the "Mark as Read" button at the top of the board page.
Even though the last post in the thread might not be new in reference to the current date, if you haven't read the thread yet, it's new to you. Hence the "new" buttons.
