Users report that suggested posts are missing on forums like AMC and Replit Ask, despite being available on Meta. The issue appears to be related to the “New & Unread Topics” and “Related Topics” features, which are not displaying correctly on mobile and sometimes disappear after reading posts. Firepup650 and Moin detail the problem, with screenshots showing the missing functionality. Roman acknowledges the issue and shares a fix via PR #22907. While the fix resolves the original issue for some, Moin continues to experience problems, which are later addressed by PR #22915. A new issue is reported by Firepup650 regarding category preference resetting, which Roman confirms and resolves with PR #22998.
On both the forum I help run, and Replit Ask, there are no longer suggested posts showing below topics. However, there are suggested posts as a toggle under topics here on Meta. It seems to me that when Suggested topics are available but Related topics (AI) are not, Suggested topics simply don’t appear at all.
Steps to reproduce:
I understand that the suggested topics have been renamed “New & Unread Topics”, but the content is the same. The HTML content still shows #suggested-topics.
I don’t see any here at meta in mobile mode. There is nothing after the topic action buttons.
In desktop mode there were "new and unread topics " and “similar topics” next to each other some hours ago
We’re aware of the issue and it should be fixed soon by:
I don’t 
I tried safe-mode and the incognito mode of the browser. But since it works for @Firepup650 this seems to be a different issue
Ok, I saw them. But after I read the new topic the buttons disappeared. So now there is nothing again. So I think it is the same issue. Since there are no new and unread topics and I did not choose to see similar topics, no buttons and no topics are shown
Tested a bit more here on Meta, and I can see @Moin’s issue.
My steps:
I merged the PR, which I believe fixes both issues. Please let me know if not.
Seems to resolve the original issue I was facing (Edit: Only on AMC, perhaps Ask hasn’t updated), but appears to have no effect on @Moin’s issue.
I think the fix is live here becaise similar topics appear for anon users. But they don’t appear for me
Bumping this because I found a new issue with this:
If your preferred category is empty, it correctly defaults to the other one, however that changes your preference to the one you hadn’t selected, and must be manually changed back once your preference is available again.
Thanks for letting us know! I’ll take a look at this later today and post an update here once I have a fix.
