I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with a user who is not getting email notifications as expected, and realized that I am not able to see or set their notification levels for topics and messages. Is there a way to do this that I am missing?

Also, I seem to recall this being reported in the past but when on the category preferences of another user, when I select “show watched topics” or “show tracked topics” or “show muted topics” the link is about my own notification levels and not about this other user I am trying to help. See links below and screenshot.

- `https://SITE/?state=watching`
- `https://SITE/?state=tracking`
- `https://SITE/?state=muted`

Should this not be e.g `https://SITE/u/USERNAME/?state=watching` or some such?
