Can't disable "Watching first post"

[SidV]

Hello Guys.

Steps for replay:

1. Go to #support (here at discourse).

• Clic and enable “Watching first post”
  
• Go outside, see the sun, run, play with your dog, etc…
• Visit #support again.
• Disable “Watch the first post”
  
  Everything appears to be fine.
  BUT…
• Press F5, to refresh your browser.
• And you will see that the icon from “Watching first post” again.

So… how I disable now? :’(

Category notification settings don't adjust reliably

I noticed this in an internal instance and I just reproduced it here on meta: Go to a category, such as #plugin:extras (where you did not customise your notification setting yet, so it defaults to [image]Normal). Change the setting to anything else, e.g. [image] Muted. Reload the page using your browser (e.g. F5). If the setting is as expected, try changing to another setting (including [image]Normal). If the setting is not as expected, that’s the bug. Sometimes the settings are applied, but…

I don’t know that this feature could be controled by user preferences.
