This is interesting and I probably would have read this topic anyway but I am curious as to why I received notifications about it. Do all users receive notifications of topics related to updates?

OK, I removed both “watching” and “watching first post” settings and applied those settings to all accounts. I think that should clear things now, but let me know what you see for News and Updates. It should show “normal” now: [image]

i’ve been told that this particular category was set to “watch” for everyone as a test. you should be able to stop “watching” it via the menu at the bottom of the thread.
