Introducing the unified new view for the topic list

  I don’t have the “Enable unified new” option. I wanted to enable it but couldn’t find it. I’m always ready to enable and test updates :slight_smile:

  I will never understand New vs Unread vs Unseen vs … wait, isn’t there another thing called Hot ?

  :wink:

    Never say never! There are various settings that can change this by site or account, but the defaults are:

    • New: a topic that was created within the past 2 days that you haven’t opened yet
    • Unread: topics you’ve already read that have new replies
    • Unseen: topics you’ve never read at any point (hidden by default, a bit of a niche case)

    The hope with the combined new is that the labels topics/replies are a little more intuitive than figuring out the difference between new/unread

      I think “new” are not necessarily topics from the past 2 days. There is a user preference where you can configure which topics appear in new

      Similarly, unread only shows topics you are tracking or watching that have new replies (there is a preference for automatically tracking topics after some time of reading; there is also one for tracking/watching on reply, and when creating the topic, you can track/watch all topics with a tag or in a category, and you can manually edit the topic tracking status of each topic).

      So I get why it’s complicated. Especially the fact that not all new replies are in unread.

      I think it also helped that this was explained on the pages of /new and /unread. Since those aren’t hidden for new users when they are empty, this used to be a great place to learn how these lists work.
