I second @emilio’s feeling/opinion about “ **Tracked** ” (the one that is located on the left sidebar, in “Community”).

I have expected that **Tracked** would:

- show a small blue dot that would inform me that, among the threads that I track, one (or several of them) has been updated with a new comment. Atm, it doesn’t show anything, no “blue dot” notification.
- lead me to a [page](https://meta.discourse.org/latest?f=tracked) with “Unread”: new posts that I haven’t read yet, within the threads that I am tracking.
- lead me to the same [page](https://meta.discourse.org/latest?f=tracked) with “Latest”: a list of all my tracked threads, shown in chronological order (the most recently updated ones being placed at the top).

But instead, currently, **Tracked** :

- leads me to " [Latest](https://meta.discourse.org/latest?f=tracked)" : _You’re all caught up! Ready to start a new conversation?_ which link I don’t feel like using here because I prefer to go to the right forum category before clicking on the “New Topic” button.
- allows me to click on “[Top](https://meta.discourse.org/top?f=tracked)” which displays topics that I have never tracked.

atm, **Tracked** feels pretty useless.  
Are there plans to change the behaviour of “ **Tracked** ”?

我同意 @emilio 关于“ **Tracked** ”（位于左侧边栏“Community”中的那个）的感觉/意见。

我曾期望 **Tracked** 会：

- 显示一个小的蓝色圆点，告知我已跟踪的帖子中有新的评论更新（一个或多个）。目前，它什么也不显示，没有“蓝色圆点”通知。
- 引导我到一个 [页面](https://meta.discourse.org/latest?f=tracked)，其中包含“未读”：我尚未阅读的、在我跟踪的帖子中的新帖子。
- 引导我到同一个 [页面](https://meta.discourse.org/latest?f=tracked)，其中包含“最新”：我所有已跟踪帖子的列表，按时间顺序显示（最近更新的帖子排在最前面）。

但目前， **Tracked** ：

- 引导我到“[最新](https://meta.discourse.org/latest?f=tracked)”：_您已全部看完！准备开始新的对话？_ 这个链接我不太想用，因为我更喜欢先进入正确的论坛类别，然后再点击“新主题”按钮。
- 允许我点击“[热门](https://meta.discourse.org/top?f=tracked)”，它会显示我从未跟踪过的主题。

目前， **Tracked** 感觉非常无用。  
是否有计划更改“ **Tracked** ”的行为？

我们计划很快将其移除。

它的目的是显示您感兴趣的所有类别和标签的主题聚合。它通过显示您正在跟踪或关注的类别和标签中的主题来实现。在侧边栏的早期版本中，您必须跟踪或关注标签或类别才能将其添加到侧边栏。然后，我们改变了主意，决定允许您将内容添加到侧边栏，而无需跟踪它们。作为副作用，“已跟踪”聚合器与设计本身变得更加脱节。

我们将来可能会以一种完全不同的方式重新考虑拥有直接链接到聚合主题列表的功能。
