I see very few latest posts. In particular I was going to look at the latest Starship thread. When I search for it from Firefox history I find a post from Dr.Strangelove a half hour ago–but I don’t see that in the list of latest posts.

Do you have any muted categories? If you go to [https://boards.straightdope.com/latest?state=muted](https://boards.straightdope.com/latest?state=muted) and see anything there, that means those threads/categories ARE muted and won’t show up in your regular, _unmuted_ “Latest” posts.

You can configure muting in your preferences, at `https://boards.straightdope.com/u/your_username/preferences/tracking`. For you that’d be [https://boards.straightdope.com/u/PastTense/preferences/tracking](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/PastTense/preferences/tracking)

Otherwise, if you right click on this and open it in an Incognito/Private window (depending on your browser), it should show you all the latest posts without any account-specific filtering: [https://boards.straightdope.com/latest](https://boards.straightdope.com/latest) (but you won’t be able reply from that window since you’re not logged in)

Yes, I forgot I had the elon-musk tag filtered out.

Thank you.
