Thread always appear to have new posts.

[Cags]

Whenever I open the Random Thoughts thread, the "Do you program for hobby, work, or both?" thread is always marked as having new posts. Oddly if I go up a level, Random Thoughts isnt marked as having new posts. Has anybody got any idea why this thread always looks like this, even if I open the thread and then go back up a level its still marked as having new posts. Is it perhaps something todo with the Poll?

Im pretty sure that it is the poll. I noticed that it was always in the "Get Net" search, and although there usually werent new posts there was always more votes.

A vote in a poll will cause it to appear as an unread thread.

A vote in a poll will cause it to appear as an unread thread.

Which is fair enough, but it seems unlikely somebody is voting on the poll between the time it takes to open the thread and go back up a level.
