Have Forums features been broken?

Question
-
Have recent updates to Forums broken features? Both of the following represent undesirable behavioral changes to Forums.
1. I have threads that appear in my list when I select "No Replies" that have replies that are at least a couple of days old.
2. Threads to which I have replied now show up in the filtered list when I select "Unread". It makes no sense that my own unread reply counts, since I obviously read it since I was the one who composed it.

Yes, this is the result of the latest fix applied to the forums. If you check the forum you're thread is now in, you'll find several threads on the same topic.

I have similar problem. Also, if I participated in a thread, often the number of total replies shows lower number than the actual number of replies and also sometimes new replies are not shown. Since I don't use alerts unless the thread is really important to me, I don't get updates and may miss a reply.

That one I've seen for a while now before the other stuff was broken.
Another thing I've recently observed is that clicking or opening a thread (reading it) doesn't reliably mark it as read.
