I think there have been some changes to the website over the past few months, one small one is that the red 'new post' label in the forum stays up for at least 24 hours, if after you've read them, including your own posts.
Not just me experiencing that then. I thought it was down to my cookie settings, cache or some such thing.
What OS/Browser are you using?
Mines Win10 and Chrome.
I'm using Win7 and Firefox, with the browser built-in ad blocker on and the add-on ad blocker uBlock Origin and cookie/tracker one Ghostery. Previously all were fine until a few days ago or so.
I tried Win 10 a couple of months ago but my 9yo PC isn't capable of running it in a stable/reliable fashion. I like Firefox as it allows many good add-ons that have, up until now, vastly improved the browsing experience.
Chrome is fine (usage), though less add-on are available and I'm growing more and more concerned about the behaviour of Google by the day (including use of my data, browsing or otherwise). I tend to use it as a backup browser of last resort.
I often find that the problems of the sort I've documented go away a few days/weeks later (they are more of a minor annoyance than a serious problem) once the software engineers at Firefox, any of the add-on programs or the website giving the issue gets the negative feedback on a change they made and either reverses it or fixes the bug.
Hopefully this will be the case again, although the pandemic may mean less staff are on hand to deal with such issues. Still worth reporting. I'll see whether other websites I'm a member of (including online shops) have problems.
As you say, it could easily be cured and also down to clearing the cache/cookies, which I did do not that long ago. Sometimes it could also be the using of the same browser on two different platforms (my Win 7 PC and my Android tablet) which do interract via the browser 'synchronising'.
