Hi, the question is all in the title, I am not sure of that, thanks !

You’re cherry picking posts from a 9 year old topic. The statement in the post you’re quoting was corrected immediately after. In 2024, topics in muted categories, and individually muted topics will not appear in latest. [The image is a square avatar of a person with a black and white cat next to them. (Captioned by AI)]

Ok, i thought it could have an effect on notifications only because the setting is in notification bell icon.

Humm, we have a different opinion here: [redacted by mod] your opinion please? [image] Muted categories should not hide Tracked/Watched topics Feature Topics in a muted category, or individually muted topics, will still show in latest. They won’t ever generate notifications or unread counts, though. What you propose would not work. Muting a category simply means, set all new topics in that category to a notification state of “muted” for you at the time of creation. There is no mechanism for somehow automagically deciding a topic in a category you explicitly muted, is no longer muted. Sounds like it would be easier to just browse your site by…

I have edited out the mention in your post - please refrain from @mentioning individual staff - you quoted them anyways so they would get notified. But it’s generally poor etiquette to @mention staff by name unless you are in a specific exchange with them like we are now. Thank you :pray:

Thanks for the screen capture. I am probably not the only one lead to believe the bell icon referred to notifications only.

Thanks Lilly, did not know that. I learn every day :wink:

That’s true. It is kind of the point of muting a category.
