"New message in subscribed thread" icon won't go away

[uzor]

Posted in the Genmay thread about lawnmowers this morning, and since then the thread always shows the "new message in subscribed thread" icon (this one:

). Now aside from this, it usually displays this icon for me whenever I refresh the main page after posting in a thread myself (telling me there is a new post, even though it was me), but generally, visiting that thread, and then going back to the main page gets it to show the regular "subscribed thread icon".

I know it's not really a big problem, but it's driving me nutty, and I can't figure out why on earth it would be doing this with just this one thread. Firefox 2.0.0.4 on WinXP SP2, btw.

Any ideas?

::edit::
Doing that with this thread now too.

The standard reply would be log out, clear your cookies, flush the DNS cache and log back in, but you already know that

Happens to me every once in a while and normally after a few minutes it goes away. Or if I close the browser and reopen it.

Same here. At first I thought it was something on my end, but it can happen at work as well if I have to close Firefox. If you close the browser, it takes some time for everything to update.
