Forum problem?

[dragon57]

I wonder if anyone else is having issues with my usual way of navigating to the forum here. I hit the main URL, then click on the 'Unread Content' link. For the last 2 or 3 days, I get a sorted list of posts like before, but I also usually have a large number of posts in the response that should not be there; old posts with old dates that have already been marked read.

Yes. I've been seeing the same thing.  I think [a big?] part of it is the forums been getting hit with spam quite a bit recently.  When a spammer is identified and banned, their recent posts get deleted.  A guess I have is when their posts are deleted, the thread is staying marked as "un-read".  It didn't used to do that.  Assuming my guess is correct, that is.  Regardless, something screwy is going on.

Also from the posts I "Follow" I get my email flooded with those spam posts.
That's pretty annoying 😠
