# Situation

Currently there’s a tracking selection for each topic on its own and for read topics.

Then there’s a tracking selection for each category – but unfortunately not for the “top-level” category of the forum, that means that I either have to track all categories (and hope no new categories get added) or set read topic tracking to always and manually click on each topic to track it.

# Proposal

Add a tracking selector to the top-level “Categories” view which affects **all** new topics.
