It is because the thread is set up as a poll. If someone votes, but doesn't post a 'normal' reply it updates the thread as if a post has been made. Of course there is no new post as the person has simply responded to the poll. It had me confused for a long time😀

Thanks for that, 'ITSv40'. Makes sense when you put it like that!

I noticed it too. I think the forum updates it as unread when somebody adds to the poll.

EDIT: Urgh. Hit by the "bottom of the previous page" gotcha.
