Just to confirm, I added the chat tag to those three topics during the initial ‘create topic’, and not afterwards. 👍

Did those three topics show up in your New list? I think Tracking only keeps an Unread count for topics that you’ve seen already. Do the notifications work properly if you set it to Watching/Watching First Post?
