I’d like the following behavior, but don’t know if it’s possible. I have a “tracking” subscription for a certain category, so I get an email when a new topic is made. I reply in some topics, but not all. I would like to start receiving emails for all replies once I reply in a topic that isn’t mine. …

Not unless you set it manually on the topic. That is not really the case here you set the category to tracking, so the default state is to track for every topic in that category when you reply you have the pref set to watch on reply Neither of those is a manual setting of the notification l…

Surely, the auto-switch to “watching” on reply should take precedence … it’s the more natural thing to expect. Manually replying in a particular topic means a deliberate action taken upon a single item. This is carries more significance (takes precedence) over what was set as “default state” for the…

Yup, topic state is getting set at visit to the topic. Here is my test: As a normal user, set a category to Tracking As another user, create a topic in said category Using Data Explorer , query the topic_users table for newly created topic to see what users have a subscription state on it. Validat…

[imagem] cpradio: Change the auto_notification method to look for a higher subscription state than what is being requested. In this case, the current state would be tracking, and the request would be watching so it should permit the change in state. Or in cases of the state being normal (not sur…

[imagem] nordize: I’m a little surprised at how you guys look at this. To me it makes total sense that if I reply anywhere, then the state of that topic should change to what I set my “auto_switch on reply” to be The way I read it, @cpradio and @codinghorror agree with you [imagem] cpradi…

Then I need more sleep or more coffee (or both). [imagem] codinghorror: I think the replying to a muted category topic case, they made their bed, now they get to lay in it To me that implied that if some category is set to muted then topics should not be bumped by the “auto_switch on reply”. …

[imagem] nordize: Could you please advise me on the simplest way for me to maintain a patch on my own install that’s easy to re-apply after upgrades? Fork Discourse, create a branch, make the change, submit change as a PR to Discourse. Point your instance to the branch in the meantime.

[imagem] cpradio: Point your instance to the branch in the meantime. How exactly do I point my Discourse install to my github fork branch? I presume some change to app.yml? (still new to Discourse)

Honestly, I haven’t done that part a lot, but I imagine it is in web.template.yml, this part in particular. I usually just wait for the PR to be merged (it doesn’t typically take a long time) cd: $home hook: code cmd: - git reset --hard - git clean -f - gi…
