Hello, I was wondering if there was any way to make categories muted by default for guests, but allow users with accounts to see them normally (and also mute them if they so choose). A bit of searching did not find this question asked before, although I will admit it’s entirely possible I used the…

You can suppress a category from latest topics for all users, or you can default mute it for logged in users. The exact configuration you want is not possible because mute does not affect anons :mouse: That may change eventually: [image] Is there a way to globally suppress …

They don’t need to be hidden in Category view, just New/Latest. As if they were muted.

@sam any chance this is coming soon?

And, I guess, more specifically - could it be made so that something could be default muted for guests but not for registered users (TL0 and above)?
