Occasionally folders show as having new messages when they don't

I haven't been able to find a pattern to it. I am using firefox on a mac.

On the mb it will show as green, but there are no green folders in the thread.

Edits seem to have that effect *NM*

I'm not sure that's always the case though.
Edits seem to have that effect

There have been a couple times I've seen formerly-Announced threads at the bottom of the page with green folders. At first I thought it was just because they had been unAnnounced, but I've later seen them with a green folder again, with no evident edits.

So, there may still be an occasional issue.
It does look a bit fishy, yes
I've seen a couple of threads pop up like this today. It's more noticeable when one's set the topics with new replies to show up on top.

Latest reply around 8pm last night, currently positioned in between posts with replies 1:26pm and 2:00pm today.
Addition
One of my old threads on the Sci-Fi/Fantasy board showed as having a new post today. No new posts in the thread, no new edits either.
It keeps happening to some of my posts
They aren't being edited or replied to. I haven't even attempted to edit them and then changed my mind. And none of the posts inside are marked as read.

So far the ones that it happens to the most on the SFF board seem to be

Now, either I am simply a narcissist and so only notice it when it happens to my posts, or this bug loves/hates me.
Or it could have something to do with reviews that have been on the front page?

The Harkaway review and interview had it for a while, but that seems to have calmed down.
