I read a new topic and wanted to see it fresh tomorrow morning. I selected the defer option, expecting it to also mark the topic as new again since it only had the one post, but this did not happen. I suppose a [topic reminder](https://meta.discourse.org/t/allow-all-users-to-set-topic-reminders/101508) would be best for this, but I’m curious if people think it should also have marked the topic as new in this case.

This is @sam’s functionality so your question should be directed to him.

I does mark the topic as new… I just tested it, I sometimes defer 1 post topics

Hmm I don’t see that happening. At the very least, it doesn’t reappear in [https://meta.discourse.org/new](https://meta.discourse.org/new).
For example, after deferring the below topic it is clearly stylized as unread, but it doesn’t have the blue dot and it doesn’t appear in my new section. Maybe I worded my original comment poorly.

I changed it to a week and that didn’t help (if it’s retroactive). The topic was already within the two day timeframe (my previous setting) anyway. I’ll try with more topics later.

I just tried again with a 40 minute old topic and it still doesn’t do what I’d expect.
- The blue dot _does_ actually appear, but I didn’t notice it because it doesn’t happen right away. I have to refresh to get the blue dot to appear.
- The deferred topic doesn’t get added back to [https://meta.discourse.org/new](https://meta.discourse.org/new). This was the intent of my original question (though I obviously didn’t mention it explicitly). Should it get added back there? The inconsistency is a little weird, because right now I can scroll to see 5 topics with blue dots, but the New section only has 4 topics.

My guess here is that something about topic user is not quite right, will have a look, but it will probably take a few weeks.

죄송합니다. 이 문제를 처리할 여유가 없었습니다. 아주 작은 버그가 있을 수 있다는 점은 알고 있습니다. 누군가 이 문제를 수정하고 싶다면 #pr-welcome 태그를 붙여 두었습니다.

추적하지 않는 토픽의 경우, **Defer** 버튼이 포스트 수가 얼마든 새 항목으로 표시되어야 한다고 생각합니다(즉, [/new](https://meta.discourse.org/new)에 표시되어야 합니다). 또한 [/latest](https://meta.discourse.org/latest) 목록에도 “new” 점을 표시해야 한다고 생각합니다. 현재는 추적하지 않는 토픽에서 **Defer** 버튼이 하는 일이라고는 토픽 목록의 링크 색상을 미방문 색상으로 바꾸는 것뿐인 것 같습니다.
