Someone replied to a topic you are Watching

This annoying prefix is new since recent updates. How do I get rid of it? My users dislike it intensely. It only just started happening along with other recent turbulence such as mail not going out.

I am unbale to figure out what template needs to be edited. Where does this preview stuff come from?

What do you mean? What prefix?

I think it is about this commit maybe?

And prefix = preview, I think

I think you can customize the individual preview texts as was suggested in Change in behaviour re mail - #11 by supermathie.
You can find more about editing texts in Customize text in Discourse

So, for example, to prevent “Someone replied to a topic you are Watching,” you would remove the site text in user_notifications.user_posted.preview. You cannot leave it empty, but you can use an invisible character like ㅤ.

You can see the difference here:

You can do the same with all the other preview texts.

That’s very strange. The point of the change, as I see it, is to give people more info about why the message landed in their inbox. Funny that knowing that is something people would feel “intense” about. People just hate change.
