✅ Threads no longer showing "NEW" tag on activity, "Response To:" widget missing

In the last day or two, I've noticed that forum views no longer show the "NEW" tag when a thread has had new posts since you last visited it, which makes it hard to follow new activity. Also, responses to posts no longer show the "Response To:" widget, which makes it so hard to follow a conversation in flat/chronological view that the mode is almost useless.

This is occurring across browsers and sessions. I'm guessing it's a bug - any word on if/when it'll be looked at?

Both of the features you mentioned still work for me. Can you provide any additional information about the issue you're encountering?

I've been trying it more, and it seems to be working again in FF, but not consistently in Chrome (my usual browser). If I load a fresh tab of an older thread I've visited a while ago, the "Response To:" widget works, but newer threads don't have it. Similarly, old threads that I've visited a while ago show the "NEW" tag (like the Gameplay pinned thread about GP+), but newer threads don't get that tag even when they do have new posts.

Do you think it's a cookies/cache thing?
