Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or not, but the following thread has had recent activity and posts that have been made (including one made just a few moments ago), but for some reason the thread is not shown in the list of threads in the BBQ Pit forum when I select “Latest.” The only way to find the thread is by link or search: ### [Butt-Hurt Trump Takes to Twitter Again (Part 2)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-2/928130) > [@Butt-Hurt Trump Takes to Twitter Again (Part 2)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-2/928130): > > Continuing the discussion from [Butt-Hurt Trump Takes to Twitter Again (Part 1) - #10001 by silenus](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428/10001).

Never mind…I figured out the issue, and thought I would post this in case this ever happens to anyone else. I apparently had inadvertently changed the tracking at the bottom of the thread in question to “Muted,” and when you do this the thread no longer appears in the “Latest” list. ---

Yes. It’s inconsistent terminology. Muting a post just stops notifications about that poster, but muting a thread is more like blocking a thread. There isn’t a way to simply not get notifications about replies/mentions in a particular thread without hiding the thread from the forum lists. ---

You can avoid getting replies in a thread by not posting to it in the first place. 🙂 ---

No, that, as it says, notifies you whenever your post is quoted or replied to, as well as any time your are mentioned (e.g. @SCAdian). I leave every thread on Normal other than the ones I start, yet I get notifications on every thread I post in, including this one.
