As noted [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/redesigning-the-default-category-page/46783/109), the split categories/latest view doesn’t “live update” to show new topics. It is also missing the “last visited” line, which makes it inferior to the full “latest” page. It would be great if these features can be added to the split view.

Any update on this? My users seem to really prefer the Category view as their home page but they are missing out on the neat live updates because of it.

I think we solved this recently @jean.perez some discussion is here:

> [@See # new or updated topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/see-new-or-updated-topics/204206):
>
> This is not happening on my forum, only here on Meta. I see a message at the top to “See (number) new or updated topics” and it appears to be clickable, but I cannot click on it. In the screenshot below, it says there are 7 new or updated topics, and I can see that there are 2 new topics. Is this supposed to be clickable? And if not, what’s the purpose?

Perhaps worth posting some screenshots and closing this off Jean?

Yes, this is solved now. Here’s a screenshot. 😉

I’ll improve its position in the next iteration. I’ll move it to the right side, on top of the latest section.  
I already have another task assigned for that.
