When a new topic is added to a category and a user clicks on that category they are presented with an interstitial that hides all the other topics in a category, only showing the new topics until they either read the topics or click a Dismiss New For example if a user clicks on the category “Events,” if the user has unread topics in that category discourse redirects the user to something like: mydiscoursesite.org/c/events/4/l/new I’d like to not have the user be redirected to /l/new and have them go to the default view of the category showing all topics, including new ones. Is there a setting for this? I looked for a setting and searched here and was unable to identify an option.

Disable the "listing of new topics in a category" interstitial for users with unread topics

Thank you, that was exactly the setting I needed to revert!
