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.

はい、その意見には反対しません。ただ、バグというよりは UX の課題かもしれません。以前はこれに固有のアイコンがなかったように思うからです。

実際、バージョン 1.5.0 beta6 では「新規トピック」の固有アイコンがないことを確認しました。したがって、これはバグ報告（Contribute > Bug）というより、UX への貢献（Contribute > UX）の方が適切だと感じます。

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?
