Only some new posts marked as new

Is this a known issue, an unknown issue, or is someone accessing my account while I'm offline? The last possibility can potentially be easily checked: did my account record activity of any kind during the last 20 hours (excepting the last hour or so)?

Anyway, it's happened many times now: I return to a thread I had been reading, and half of the new messages are not marked as "new". I have to manually look for the spot trying to remember where I stopped reading.

First I've heard about it. By "new", you mean these posts were posted after you last clicked on the thread? Or are you just stopping reading half-way through and coming back later and expecting the forum software to magically know at which point you stopped reading?

Yeah.

Assuming it's a security breach, here's an IP based Xenforo security plug-in to get rid of the issue:

That mod looks pretty cool, but I seriously doubt anyone's haxx0ring your account.

Let me know what threads you notice it in.

In the return of GD thread, for example. Twice at least. I suppose you could complain about it on the xenforo forums, which are accessible only to xenforo customers or something like that. But if no one else has noticed the issue, then you might also look into the security breach hypothesis -- or not, if you're gonna update the security here anyway.

Hmmm... It could be munchkins are using a GUI interface built in visual basic to hack your IP address and gain access to your account. We've had problems with that in the past. I'll setup some anti-munchkin defenses.

Pity post.

Failed to follow through on an alert at some point, such as during a maint-ants event?

XenForo is anal about this.
