Recently my Chrome started telling me that I had 0 unread new posts on this forum when its not true and I cannot see the difference between read and unread anymore because of that.
Is it just me or does it happen to other Chrome users as well?

More details:
Chrome with permission to auto-update, always up to date
Windows 7 64-bit
Remember me setting and always logged in
I don't clean my PC from junk or cookies ever

How do you know it's Chrome's fault? Have you tried another browser? When you say "0 unread new posts" does that mean it's giving you the number 0? If so, where do you find this number? (I've never seen a number like that on this site.)

I don't know if its problem with Chrome, but it could be.
No, I haven't tried any other browsers.

It shows the icon what tells me I have read everything.

I might try other browsers but its hard to try it when I only use one so I might just forget I was testing something with different browser. :roll:

Oh, that one. :wink:
Yep, I get that shown Ok but I don't think it's ever lied to me.
I'm using Firefox.

I've seen that icon before, and I've noticed that it isn't always accurate. I think the WP server resets the count every day or something along those lines. If you start seeing the other icon within a couple hours on some of the subforums, then there isn't really a problem. (other than WP not tracking everything perfectly)
