Hi, I’m experiencing what I think is a bug on my private forum but maybe somebody can tell me if I’m just misunderstanding something.

There is a topic which I marked as _muted_ so I would no longer get its notifications, but doing so completely hides this topic and the only way I have found to access it is with a direct link.

I am **not** able to see the topic via:

- The landing page (categories) right-hand _Latest_ column.
- The dedicated _Latest_ page.
- The category index that this topic is a child of.

A little bit about my setup:

- I am an admin on this forum.
- The category can only be accessed by a specific user group.
- I am not a member of this user group.

Where am I supposed to be able to find this topic listed? Personally I would find it reasonable for a muted topic to appear in all 3 of the lists mentioned above, but the category index especially.
