Bug topic muting
-
If you mute a topic, it doesn't mute (currently unmuted) threads inside that topic.
So I accidentally visited that idiot bot thread thing, then realized: hey you guys are all idiots, so I left to mute the entire topic. Then I get a blue circle saying there were new posts in the idiot bot thread thing by morons and I think, 'wait didn't I mute these idiot moron halfwits?' but it turns out apparently not.
So there file that whoever does the bug filing shit I guess.

I'm already watching this category.
@blakeyrat the actual bug is that mentions ignore mute settings. (I've already filed this somewhere)
-
Nope this has nothing to do with mentions.
Cat A (non-muted) -> Topic A (muted) = no blue circles
Cat B (muted) -> Topic B (muted) = no blue circles
Cat B (muted) -> Topic C (non-muted) = blue circles <- buggy bug bug bug bugz buggy bug bug

Oh.
Yeah, I'll file that too.
-
I'm guessing this is "by design" because you could conceivably want to mute every topic in a particular category except one.
But that's still stupid.
-
It'll be because it flags a topic as "Tracked" or "Watched" after X amount of time, so even if you flag the category as "Muted" then the existing topics are still flagged differently.
However - I'd expect muting a category to mute all topics in it unless you explicitly set them to either "Tracked" or "Watched" afterwards.

I'd be satisfied with that behavior.
-
i dont know that dicsourse knows whether a topic is set to "tracked" explicitly or by automated-to-tracked-because-you-read-it-for-two-minutes.

Which I'd reported as a bug twice here, the first of which Atwood actually replied to as if he also believed it to be a bug. Of course, nothing came of it.
Though the current behavior is, setting a category to a specific notification level ("Muted", "Tracking", "Watching") doesn't change existing topics, only new ones, except for "Muted", which doesn't change new ones either.
I think the current behavior is by design, and is probably preferred for "Tracking" and "Watching", since if you go to a long standing instance and set a category to one of those, a lot of old topics would end up in your "unread" or "new" that you maybe don't care about since they're old.

So setting a category to muted does.....?
-
Hides topics from the category from the list of latest, new, and unread topics, unless you are tracking or watching a topic in the muted category (I think, I don't recall if the One Post topics I did showed up when someone else replied).
