As requested by @techAPJ, continuing the discussion from Changing topic from one watched category to another watched category makes topic "new" again:
Summary:
Another mod at Stonehearth reported to me some strange events when recategorizing a topic. Details are below:
- A user created a topic in the #suggestions category.
- A few other users replied
- The mod, whose preferences are set to track topics in that category, manually set the topic to watch.
- The mod replied more than once, as did others.
- I replied.
- More users replied.
- An admin replied that a fix was being developed.
- I recategorized the topic to the #suggestions:added-suggestions sub-category.
Steps to reproduce:
Unknown, steps above may work, but we have not attempted repro as this is a live site.
Expected Results:
Manually set notification type not changed, previously read topic not marked as new.
Actual Results:
The topic showed as “new” (but all posts read) for the mod. Additionally, the notification type was reset from watching to normal.
