Currently, my Scripts & Popups forum is the one that's not showing new posts inside the forum, though the lightbulb turns yellow on the mail forums list. Before that, it was Bug Reports for me. It's very annoying in Scripts & Popups because it's such an active forum. DALnet: #HelpDesk and #m[color:#FF0000]IR[color:#EEEE00]C
