Threads in My Forums Threads do not show forum name

Question
-
Sometimes the forum name isn't shown for a thread in My Forums Threads. Very awkward since the threads are not sorted by forum (which is okay). I think they are the ones that get automatically added with the dark yellow background, not quite sure.

Yep, good observation. We'll get it logged and it should be part of the April(end of) release.

I've noticed this too. It's definately the automatically added threads.

Care to explain the "automatically added" ?The only posts I have seen with a yellow background (not in my eyes *dark* yellow) have been posts which have only just arrived in the forum and are thus placed (temporarily) above the Sticky Posts. If you go to the page a moment later they are normal posts placed normally with a normal background.

Hi Brent,
It is not fixed. Threads that are added to the existing list (yellow background) are still missing the forum name. I need to press F5 to get the name. Here's a copy of what I see with the top two thread in yellow (hope it comes out):
