I see the option you mean - but it seems mailing list mode also requires that the watching/tracking happens by email notifications. I was hoping to watch or track all categories, and rely on the blue dot or notifications that occur within the browser window - I’m not super-familiar with the terminology so hopefully I explained that right. In short, I’d like to be sure I ‘see’ everything that happens on my forum, using my mobile device or desktop computer’s web browser (and not use email at all).
