Why is the forum showing old topics as “New & Unread Topics” when looking at a new topic?

> Why is the forum

Correct, the Forum is it,  
this service is setup and paid for by Athom for the Community.

There is a perfect community for that here: [https://meta.discourse.org/](https://meta.discourse.org/)

You probably didn’t read all post in these topics, even the Posts read status is tracked.  
fe if I open an old topic shown below that has one or more post that I didn’t read yet:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/9/09be4d496ec369011e3fbb67f8a1778b589a0416.png)  
I see a couple of seconds the blue dot.  
Also see: [What is the difference between "entered" and "read"? - #10 by codinghorror - support - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-the-difference-between-entered-and-read/44199/10)

so depending on that you are reading, Discourse shows you topics with unread messages that might have a relation (and maybe not)  
(even for me [Homey Community Forum](https://community.homey.app/u?order=days_visited&period=all) )

You could ask the creators of Discourse at the forum mentioned above.
