I see the yellow message but don't see any new posts

and posting that made the problem go away

This is a known problem and occurs only when the newest forum posting is in a topic that you are ignoring (like that "Hands-on Cooking Classes" topic). I consider it a quirk but it could get annoying if you are ignoring a lot of topics.

OK, I see what you mean - but can't you just alter the query and/or logic for the yellow banner? Not that it's a huge issue now that I know this, mind you.

The yellow banner only appears if you have not read the (one) most recent posting. Since the check for new forum activity happens on pretty much every page refresh I had to cut corners a bit. It's all about efficiency! :-)

However, it seems that I already fixed a problem with ignored topics. I'll have to look at this one more carefully. Thanks for mentioning it!
