Hi Discourse Team, with one of a recent upgrade it seems the category setting Suppress category from latest topics Is missing and I can’t find in the release notes, that this was intentional? Here is the latest information I’ve found from @jomaxro https://meta.discourse.org/t/hide-category-fr…

Thanks @sam for the timeframe (even though we are still not on the same page about this ““anti user feature””) :wink: Anyways, thanks @vinothkannans and ultimately thanks @RGJ for providing this plugin ! After a first issue and a super fast fix, I can confirm I have my beloved forum theme and flow …

OK, to recap, you were relying on: Suppress from latest: only removing stuff from /latest topic list Category mute: remove from /latest topic lists, remove from /categories and left hand panel showing categories. We have had a lot of confusion around this feature: [image] …

Yeah, I can imagine that there are a lot of conflicts and/or confusion :slight_smile: In my case it’s also rather focused around the desktop style [image] (Which by the way should be please boosted a lot more. For example “Boxes with Latest Topics” would be awesome. The Desktop page is the “face…

Another major difference between the ‘suppress_from_latest’ function and default mute is that when I mute a category, this only hides topics that I’m not watching from the Latest page.
