New topic counts aren't getting updated

Forum Feedback

In the past, when I read new topics, or “Dismiss New,” then return to the forum home page, the new topic counts reflect the changed totals.
This behavior changed recently. The forum is no longer updating the new topic counts when I view or dismiss new topics.

At first, I thought this was a Firefox issue, as it seemed to begin shortly after a Firefox update came out. But I’m seeing it in a Chromium-based browser (Vivaldi) and MS Edge (on Windows 10) as well, so I suspect it is a Discourse issue.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start with this. Note the totals at the top, and in each section:

    image968×517 75.1 KB

  2. Click on the “2 new” under General Discussions.

  3. Click on one of the new topics to view it (or click “Dismiss New”).

  4. Click on the Plex logo at the top left to return to the forum Home page.

Note that the counts are unchanged, even though you have either read or dismissed some or all of the new topics. Refreshing the browser fixes the issue, but this was never necessary before.

Thanks I’ll try to see what is going on.

Discourse has an open bug about it:

This appears to be fixed. I’m not seeing the same behavior here, or on Discourse’s own forum.
