Hi, thanks for the explanation. I didn’t previously understand the meaning of _Normal_, I used to think it meant set the topic’s notification settings to _normal for me_, which would be _email me about everything_. I had that backwards but I think I get it now so in future I will know how to handle it. > [@Trash](#): > > Why don’t you simply mark that topic as Normal? Hypothetically speaking… how would I even get into this post to change it from _Muted_ to _Tracking_? Such as if I muted it accidentally, just changed my mind, or had misunderstandings about how the tracking system worked (😊). I now accept that it’s understandable that muted topics don’t appear under the Categories _Latest_ section or the _Latest_ page. However I think if I enter a category I should be able to see all of the topics in there, or at least some indication that there are hidden topics. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/muted-topic-is-completely-hidden/72690)._
