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.

Да, я не спорю, просто один из тех случаев, когда не уверен, что это баг, а возможно, вопрос UX, так как, на мой взгляд, ранее у этого не было уникальной иконки.
На самом деле я только что проверил: в версии 1.5.0 beta6 у него тоже нет уникальной иконки «Новая тема», поэтому определённо чувствую, что это скорее относится к #Contribute > UX, чем к #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 😌

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 😉

What about fa-asterisk or fa-star?
