On our Discourse instance I have all of my categories being watched by default, but new posts don’t seem to be sending notifications anymore and it seems like that’s happening on ALL accounts on our site. Confusingly, certain users’ posts get sent through when they reply to the original post, though, so I think there’s a setting I changed by accident or without fully understanding what it did. I’ve been pouring over the settings, both global and on my own user, to see what the issue or conflict could be but I can’t figure it out. Any suggestions for what this might be, or how to more effectively debug? Thanks! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/first-post-not-sending-even-when-watching-first-post/115326)._
