As designed Unwatched New Posts have Watched Thread Icon

[NuitTombee]

This may well be a "feature" but I've seen it brought up a few times on other forums.

When you watch a forum, any thread from that forum will show up as watched on the New Posts page.

I have verified it here by watching the Xenforo Bug Reports while watching none of the threads in the subforum.

When you watch a forum, any thread from that forum will show up as watched on the New Posts page.

This is exactly the feature. If you're watching a forum, you are effectively watching the threads within it. We signal this on the new posts page since it shows threads from all forums. (If you're in a forum that you're watching, there's no point in highlighting every thread.)
