Here is what I have come up with so far. It follows a paragraph about the latest page, notification page and the numerical count.

> You can apply the following levels to categories, tags or topics:
> 
> - **Watching** — Notified: new topics and replies. Counted: new topics and replies.
> - **Tracking** — Notified: only if someone replies to you. Counted: new topics and replies.
> - **Watching first post** (category only) — Notified: new topics in category, but not replies. Counted: new topics.
> - **Normal** — Notified: only if someone replies to you. Counted: nothing.
> - **Muted** — Notified: nothing. Counted: nothing.

and

> By default, if you are away from the forum, you will be sent an email for anything you are **Watching** or **Watching first post**.

Before I tidy up the wording, could you possibly check it for accuracy? @RGJ

Thanks.
