What @ZakPhoenixMcKracken said. Change it from ‘watching’ to ‘tracking’. Basically a level down in stalking. ---

ok, I never enabled live notifications anyway, so for me tracking or watching was almost the same already… I found that under the options if you click top right, you can mute notifications from selected users… ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/6/61ec7b3a99db7bf30410bd6653a39817ad1b9f34.png) … or change how long you have to read a topic before you automatically start tracking it (only up to 10 minutes though… I 'd like it to be 30 or 60 even) But good to know… Now I can untrack some uninteresting topics which kept putting my unread count to the sky. there’s also “Don’t jump to my post after I reply” Why didn’t I set some of these options before? ---
