A member of our crack team of bug testers has verified that this issue is reproducible, and has handed it off to the development team for investigation.
Descriptive Problem Summary:When clicking on a new post in Game Updates from the right side of the forums, the color of the Game Updates section does not update to show blue even when there are no new posts.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem: 1) Go to the BYOND Forums when there is a new post in Game Updates. 2) Click on the new post on the right side of Game Updates. 3) Click on the BYOND Forums link to go back to the list of forums. Even if there was only one new post, which you just viewed, Game Updates will remain orange as if there were new posts.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results:Game Updates updates to blue to show there are no new posts.

Actual Results: Game Updates does not update if you access the new post from the BYOND Forums page, instead of going into the Game Updates section.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Everytime.
In other games?
In other user accounts? Not tested.
On other computers? Not tested.

When does the problem NOT occur? When you go into Game Updates directly to find the new post and view it.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

Workarounds: Go to Game Updates and view the new post there, instead of using the quick access from beside Game Updates in the BYOND Forums.
Demos & Libraries also does this.
I've also noticed the problem has gotten worse. Oddly, I noticed it soon after this post. Now it seems no matter how you view the last new post, the section will remain orange until you load that particular section.

In other words, going back to the BYOND forums page directly from the last new post of the sections in question does not update it now.
