This is odd. I posted an update to a thread about Canada’s Gov Gen in MPSIMS: > [@Governor General of Canada resigns after “scathing” report on workplace harrassment](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/governor-general-of-canada-resigns-after-scathing-report-on-workplace-harrassment/931141/62): > > New GovGen to be announced this morning. [https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6091376](https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6091376) But that thread isn’t showing up on the MPSIMS lists, at least not on my display. ---

And I wonder if this issue has arisen before, since Discourse wouldn’t let me use my original title: “MPSIMS not updating?” ---

The only way I can see it is to click on “Activity” in my profile. That takes me to the thread and I see @QuickSilver ’s post. It’s just not showing up on the MPSIMS page. ---

At least the problem of a grey dot showing 100 unread posts hasn’t shown up! @codinghorror , maybe it’s just me. 😀 ---

Oops. Never mind. For some reason it was Muted. No idea why. ---

Honestly, calling it “mute” is a bit counterintuitive, to me at least. It’s more like a block feature. “Mute” would, to me, just imply “send me no notifications” like it does with posters. Though I am wondering how you’re getting threads accidentally muted or followed. ---

I have no idea. I don’t see any reason why I would mute one of my own threads!
