Thank you heaps for running all those tests, David, and for listing necessary changes. Given how busy the team is these days, I’d like to point out one change that is really crucial:

> Notifications should be sent when topics are re-categorised by a “publish” topic timer

I would almost go as far as calling this a bug because in the case of using the publish timer, the user is under the impression of not really publishing the post until the timer does it and hence has a legitimate expectation that the publication by the timer will have exactly the same consequences as a manual one (even the publication time stamp is being reset!).

Not that the other issues don’t need to be addressed, but perhaps not as urgently…
