Hi,

I use email subscriptions to be notified daily of new/updated threads on the forums, but the emails seem to be a little bit broken: All threads are marked as "new" rather than "updated", and I frequently get notifications about threads that haven't actually been updated. Below is an example I received this morning:

[br]The following threads have been updated:

Two things to note: despite the fact that this is a *daily* update email received on 7th August, the thread hasn't been updated since 5th August, and I actually received a notification that this thread was "new" in the email alerts I received on 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th August as well!; Threads are *always* listed as "new" rather than "updated": i.e. there is *never* anything under the "The following threads have been updated" heading.

It's not a huge issue, but it is broken, and it would make the email subscription alerts a lot more useful if it was fixed.

Thanks

Ian
