When a thread that is on your watch-list gets moved to another section, it will appear as having an unread reply when you check your watch-list.
This is normally not an issue, however when old threads get moved to another section in mass, say when a new section is created, then this will cause a lot of threads that do not have new replies appear on your watch-list.
I am not 100% certain about this, however it is also possible this will happen when a moderation action happens on a thread -- so editing a post, and splitting a portion of a thread into another post might also cause this.
Topic: Watchlist bug (Read 621 times)
Since clicking "mark all as read" does absolutely nothing, I think we can say this is reproduceable. If everything is working correctly on the background I'm fine with this. My worry was that there might have been something wrong with the forums but apparently not. I'm obviously not requesting or expecting this to be fixed since the new forum is well under way... 
Using Chrome and Safari. Same on both. No different add-ons from usual (ad block only, on Chrome).
Okay, then that shouldn't be the issue.I guess it was just some kind of bug in my account. I just wondered if there was something being changed on the background.
Are you able to reproduce it, or was this just a one-time thing? I doubt that there we some changes in the background. Suddenly my watchlist is 51 pages long (usually 1/2 pages) and it lists threads which had the last reply in 2014, and others I've obviously already read all replies to... What happened to the watchlist? Is anyone else experiencing the same?
Not that it bothers me, just curious about what's happening.

Nope. Mine seems fine.
Just one page long and 15-16 topics.
Is it still that long for you?
Well, that's what I usually have, not anymore.

Mine is fine with only one page. Maybe you mistaken the new reply posts or the unread post since last visit button and you assumed it's the watchlist? It never happened in my case.Not that it bothers me, just curious about what's happening.
That's what I thought immediately, but no, it's really the watchlist.
Aside from the occasional empty watchlist which fixes itself after a refresh, everything seems fine here. What browser(s) are you using? Also check your list of addons/extensions as something may be causing your unexpected problems.

That's a probability; it shows 44 pages for me in comparison to less than 10 for the watch list. Using Chrome and Safari. Same on both. No different add-ons from usual (ad block only, on Chrome).
