When a member of your community is Tracking or Watching a topic in a support category (using the Discourse Solved plugin), they will receive a notification when that topic is marked as solved. This makes it easier for members to get answers to questions without having to check in on the topic manually or create a duplicate question topic.
Thank you for the explanation of this new/changed notification!
I have a question or maybe a bug report on this new feature. I am a regular in a forum that is running the Discourse version v2026.4.0-latest where it seems this feature was introduced.
If I disable this notification I even don’t get notifications for post of me that are marked as solution by other users. In former versions I got notifications for posts from me that got marked as solution.
So my question: is it by purpose that also my own solution posts don’t get notified to me any more if I disable this or is this a bug? Or is there any chance to have two possibilities for a notification, once for my own solution posts and second like it is now?
Thanks in advance!
I’ve gotten a lot of negative feedback about this recently from people who want to see when they, themselves get a best answer, but not when someone else does, so they can’t just turn it off.
Also, I have reports that people who are watching the first post only are getting notifications even though that isn’t a first post, and also even if they just read the post and are not watching it.
Some of them may be overlooking a certain setting… not saying all of the self-reporting is necessarily accurate… but it does seem like there should be a way to go back to the old way where they only got notified for their own best answers.
Not everything you read is in pursuit of an answer, especially on our site. They are looking to see if they can help, and so unless it is about their own answer, it is arguably unproductive/unhelpful to get those notifications.
저도 그 기능이 그리웠습니다. 현재 저는 알림을 꺼두었습니다. 제가 읽은 주제에 대한 모든 해결책에 대해 알림을 받는 것은 확실히 너무 시끄러웠습니다. 누군가를 도울 수 있었다는 것을 알려주는 몇 안 되는 알림조차 없이 지내는 편이 낫습니다. 제가 의도적으로 주제를 관찰(watching) 대상으로 설정한 경우, 해결책에 대한 알림은 여전히 합리적이라고 생각합니다. 그 경우 해당 주제에 대해 강한 관심을 가지고 있는 것이 분명하기 때문입니다. 하지만 제가 읽으면서 자동으로 추적(tracking)하게 되는 주제가 매우 많습니다. 그리고 저는 이 기본 설정을 좋아하며 바꾸고 싶지 않습니다.
제게 있어 해결됨 알림은 제 자신의 게시물과 제가 관찰하고 있는 주제에 대해서만 좋은 옵션이 될 것입니다. 제가 추적하는 주제까지 포함되는 한, 그것이 아쉬워도 계속 비활성화해 둘 것입니다.
