Have you killed any threads with the "K" key? it doesn't initially
disregard new messages to such threads, until you click on the group,
then they disappear.


Am familar with that. I have - but not in the past few days. (At least
one reboot of the PC ago.) This has only been happening today. Thanks.


Sounds like your ISPs newsfeed has switched to a new set of sequence
numbers. Can be at its most irritating when they have several machines
answering to the same name (via DNS rotation) and one is different from
the others.

When that sort of thing has happened before, things have sorted
themselves out. Odd that it is one NG, unsubscribe/resubscribe doesn't
help, the errant threads show unread - expand and there are none -
collapse and the unread indication re-appears.

As I am using Berlin/nin, I thought someone else would see the same
problem if it were them?

Still happening on the threads I identified earlier - but not spreading.
I shall just have to ignore it unless it gets worse.

Thank you all.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
