Is the way "read" threads turn purple just random now?

[SoupDragon]

I have purple threads I've read, purple ones I definitely haven't looked at, blue ones I've definitely read/definitely haven't read. So, the full variety. They change too so they aren't always the same colour they had been.

Hi Soupy!

That is VERY strange indeed! We haven't managed to replicate this at all, so might need to try a few things to narrow down the possible causes.

Could you first clear cache just for Mumsnet and see if that helps? Doing that will log you out of your account and you'll need to re-consent to cookies. But that might fix it and if not will at least narrow down the options.

Just yell if you need any instructions on how to do that.

It is definitely weird... it's been going on for ages. It wasn't something that was bothering me particularly, just curiosity 😂

clearing the data has resulted in only read threads being purple (for now! I wonder if it will come back?)

It's been like this for ages! On both my devices (iPhone and laptop, usual set-ups).

Same here since ‘the great change’. I started a thread on it then, but despite my best efforts it continues.

I suppose I didn't mention it earlier because there are even more pressing things being fixed (hopefully!)

Yeah... I was bored enough today to post the question 😂

Keep us updated but hopefully, that's sorted it!

it has started doing it again today!

I think I know when it happens - if I click the link to hide a thread on "Active conversations" the purple of read threads below that doesn't seem move with the thread it's meant to. So, the thread below a read thread that is somewhere below a thread I've just hidden turns purple.

refreshing the page fixes this one though whereas i don't think it did before.

Like this...

Hi SD

it's not that, I get it all the time too & I don't hide threads.

Well, it clearly does do it then 😂

I did say that it wasn't quite the same as before because refreshing fixed it.

I’m also having this problem and it’s driving me nuts.

Morning, everyone! And sorry to hear this is still a problem Soupy.

Could you all (if you haven't already) try clearing your data? And then if you could let us know what device and browser you're on, that would be really helpful, too. We'll start looking into this in the meantime.

I happened to clear my data the other day and am still having the problem. I’m using an iPhone 11, software version 15.6.1, using the Safari browser.

Still having this problem and it’s doing my head in! I always open threads in a new background tab and each time I do I see another thread change colour instead. It’s driving me mad.

Before the changes my posts were a different colour now they're all the same. I thought they'd dumped the facility.
