I tried logging out and then in again, but nothing happened.

Any hints?

It must be an unread topic.
Try with a different user.

Ah! It works. Another nice one, @yilmaz!

Question: Does the topic need to be completely new, or can I make a post in an existing topic and force users to read it?

When you read the thread, the warning goes away.
It becomes an old thread, but unread, gets a warning.
If it is read, it will not receive a warning.
