Quoted from ForceFlow:Is this problem appearing on threads with only a few posts and one page, or larger threads with lots of posts and multiple pages? Or both?
Had it happen this morning (maybe yesterday?), was on the JPop and NE for sale thread - both big threads. (Largest was JPop thread, where there was only a few new, but retorted was over 200..) Since then, though, once I viewed then, the issue hadn't reappeared.
Okay!
Now the opposite is happening.
I had threads with a '0' listed above threads with a number, when the ones with a '0' had newer posts that I haven't seen. (Just now happened on the JPop thread.)
Edit: See attached image. Here's what I see.
The 'Pinside Staff Announcement' had a new post as I was originally posting this post. It should have 1 there, as one new post.
This post has a 'New' label (?!) but none new, which is correct.
The 'Digital Scale' is correct, and has 1 new post.
Second Edit: One new post to the JPop thread, and it appeared correctly. Strange.
Quoted from robin:The problem described in this topics opening post should be fixed now.
FYI, the blue "New" icon, which I added today, shows that a thread is started recently (younger than 24 hours).
Ah, cool! 
Thanks!
I've been trying to pay attention - I believe that the '0' thing will only happen on those threads that had the wrong number new previously - once the '0' occurs on a thread and you click it to view it, the issue doesn't seem come back. So I believe that the system is 'resetting' our last-visited time, which is putting all the counters back in order.
Quoted from robin:Another fix related to this error. Took me all darn weekend to find it, but was caused by the wrong post count being stored in the visited topics database table. It was storing post count minus deleted posts. Hence the problem would only happen in threads that have one or more deleted posts (e.g. dupe posts or moderated posts).
If you have a topic with a wrong "new posts" count, simply visiting it once should now fix this count. This also goes for the issue of idle (zero new) topics still showing, even with "hide idle" setting enabled.
Cool, thanks!
Quoted from stevevt:In related (?) news, on my Topic Activity page, I have to turn off the Hide Idle option and then turn it back on to get it to work. In other words, it's on by default but not working
I believe it's related. You;ll notice that when it's "on" but doesn't look "on", not all 'read' posts will be shown, only a small select of them. Those are the posts Robin just refers to here above - view the post again, and it will update the record, and then will vanish from the 'Filter Idle' next time you refresh that page.

Not fixed for me, unfortunately.
Noticed right now that the 'Post Project Pins for sale' was listed with '0' new. Clicked it, and saw one new one.
Went back to refresh my topics list, and it jumped up to the TOP of the list, with '0'. Viewed it again, and someone had JUST posted to it. (So it jumped to the top correctly, but the new post count still had '0' in it.)
