Ghost stories or fake news?


I get this constantly: I’ve read all my stories, and it tells me there’s one more - but there isn’t.
It’s not a BBC issue; it crops up on different feeds; always one. never more, never less.

I did search, and only found one similar report (2017) which seems to have self-resolved.

It’s not a big issue: just irritating.

This has come up a fair bit. I’m working on a big infrastructure overhaul and have begun migrations. By the end of the year this problem should be resolved as the real-time server should be distributed and allow for the throughput it needs to keep those real-time unread counts correct. In other words, if you reload the page, the count should be correct.
