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.

Oui, je ne suis pas en désaccord, c’est juste l’un de ces cas où je ne suis pas sûr qu’il s’agisse d’un bug, mais peut-être d’un élément d’UX, car je ne pense pas qu’il y avait une icône unique pour cela auparavant.

En fait, je viens de vérifier qu’il n’y a pas d’icône unique « nouveau sujet » dans la version 1.5.0 bêta6, donc je suis vraiment convaincu que cela relève davantage de Contribute > UX que de 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?
