little "bug" class HasNew
This discussion is related to the Vanilla addon.

In applications/vanilla/views/discussions/helper_functions.php you can see this function about line 231
function NewComments($Discussion) { if (!Gdn::Session()->IsValid()) return ''; if ($Discussion->CountUnreadComments === TRUE) { $Title = htmlspecialchars(T("You haven't read this yet.")); return ' <strong class="HasNew JustNew NewCommentCount" title="'.$Title.'">'.T('new discussion', 'new').'</strong>'; } elseif ($Discussion->CountUnreadComments > 0) { $Title = htmlspecialchars(Plural($Discussion->CountUnreadComments, "%s new comment since you last read this.", "%s new comments since you last read this.")); return ' <strong class="HasNew NewCommentCount" title="'.$Title.'">'.Plural($Discussion->CountUnreadComments, '%s new', '%s new plural', BigPlural($Discussion->CountUnreadComments, '%s new', '%s new plural')).'</strong>'; } return ''; }
On line 5 above you can see there is no check for the user who has started the topic in CountUnreadComments.
The user now gets his own topic as New Topic.
I fixed it by changing line 5 to this line:
if ($Discussion->CountUnreadComments === TRUE && $Discussion->InsertUserID != Gdn::Session()->UserID) { // exclude the topic starter from CountUnreadComments
