Hi,

I struggled for a bit about whether this was a bug because vBulletin's behaviour didn't seem correct to me, but regardless according to this, a bug it be.

Quote:

This will display the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search).

A usergroup is permitted to view a forum and thread content in that forum but is not permitted to view other's threads. When a thread they are not permitted to view has a new post, the new posts indicator lights up and your modification declares that the user has 1 new post.

That new post does not display in a get new search, as they have no permission to view it so from that user's perspective the count is not correct (and nor is the statusicon, it seems to me). Tested on a stock forum, latest version.

Ta!
