Notification for new topic by mail shows replied icon, a new icon would be more logical

Case:

  • (not sure if this matters) TL0 user sends mail to category, creating a new topic
  • I am watching that category, so I get a notification

Expected:

  • The notification shows some kind of new topic icon

But result was:

  • The notification shows the replied icon

Is there a new topic icon?

I doubt both of these were submitted by email…

I guess not. But if you hover over those, they say replied which is not true.

Sí, no estoy en desacuerdo, es solo uno de esos casos en los que no estoy seguro de si es un error o quizás un tema de UX, ya que no creo que antes hubiera un icono único para esto.

De hecho, acabo de verificar que en la versión 1.5.0 beta6 no tiene un icono único para “nuevo tema”, así que definitivamente siento que esto podría ser más bien Contribute > UX que Contribute > Bug.

I agree and changed the category.

I was afraid there was some issues with the underlying notification type, but it turns out it was only a bad translation :relieved:

I didn’t change the icon because I couldn’t find one that made sense, but feel free to customise this translation on your instance :wink:

What about fa-asterisk or fa-star?
