This is correct. The categories page should have a “Muted” section at the bottom of the category list that can be expanded to reveal all of the categories you have muted. You can also select a muted category from the category dropdown that appears to the upper left of topic lists.

Correct, topics with muted tags will not show up on any topic list **unless** the tag is explicitly selected from the tag dropdown, or you are viewing the tag’s own topic list.

This is where I start to get a little confused. If you navigate to a muted category you will see all of the topics that belong to that category, **except** those that are also tagged with a muted tag, or those that have been individually muted. As mentioned, you can select the muted tag from the category’s tag drop to show muted tag topics within a category.

Let me know if I’m, misunderstanding or if I can elaborate on anything.
