It is not a bug, in my guess, and it is a customization by the user somehow.

Like this one with customization on font-size and font-weight.

The link you drop is a question on how to code in bold title or topic and the code there is a CSS code.

Which means only the admin can input such special code to a topic or title, it is meant for a general forum code and not a specific topic customization.

so next time before you drop link to anything make sure you understand what it is meant for.!

Should it be allowed then? It already breaks a function, and if more users start using this kind of thing to improve visibility of their threads compared to others the function will be even less useful.  Undecided
I will advise you disregard this information as it's not accurate!

According to Theymos he has been making some little changes that might lead to several malfunction or bug.

This could be one of those bugs which he said we should report if found. Since the behaviour is very unusual, unlike every other thread it's supposed to respond accordingly by marking read but doesn't which means it's a bug.

Here is Theymos statement regarding this.

I've been making a number of little tweaks over the past few days which could cause hard-to-predict bugs, so let me know if you see any other buggy behavior.
Thanks. I hope this thread is enough but I also will send him a message.
There will be no need to send him a PM as it's not a good idea, perhaps Admin (Theymos) is already seeing this thread or will see it eventually.

I suggest you report it to this thread Little things that bug you/me about the forum
