I really want this to work, as it is a key component for my forum. My layout has many categories with different subforums; I would like to show members when there is a new post. This is usually determined by the "lightbulb", but doesn't seem to work properly
I can give an example of this on here (the myBB support forum); the Themes Category has 3 subforums, and on inspection, the ball shows new posts. If I read all the posts in the subsections, it
still shows that there are new posts

Can I fix this on my forum, or does there need to be an update with MyBB?
I can confirm this. I just marked all 3 subforms of the "Themes" forum as read and it still shows as unread for me. I can't remember off the top of my head if this value is cached or not - if it is, it may be that that's causing this problem.
I'm moving this to the bug reporting forum so it can be pushed to GitHub as a bug.

I can confirm this as well...
The way I've been getting around that is to do a hard refresh (CTRL+F5).
Even with that hard refresh, sometimes, the UNread icon does not *always* change to Read icon.
I have to do the refresh once or twice more to get it to change to Read icon.
So... you may be onto something about the cache thing.
ADDITION: It doesn't matter which browser I am using. IE, Chrome, or Firefox. This issue shows up in all of them.
