We’re exploring shifting towards making Categories + Latest the default home page. One thing I just tested was how the Latest stream on that page behaves when new topics are posted. From what I can tell, there is no automatic refresh or indication that a new topic exists like there is on the Latest page.
Is that something that others have felt a need for?
I tried searching for similar topics, but couldn’t find anything…
There is an indicator at the top that shows that new topics are available.
Edit; oh, perhaps not–Refreshing at 'all categories' and individual category level
Hmm… I tested all of the following just now and here’s what I found:
In one tab, open each of the following pages. In another, reply to a topic to bump it (I used a topic in the staff category on a production instance to avoid spamming too many people with my test).

refresh indicator shows up on categories + latest page
refresh indicator shows up on a category’s topic list page refresh indicator shows up when filtered by tag refresh indicator shows up when filtered by category + tag
