Have you turned that thread to “Normal” from “Tracking”? Because if you have a thread on “Tracking” you will get reminders about that thread, even if you’ve muted the category that the thread is in. There’s a good discussion here: > [@How do I (successfully) Mute an Entire SDMB Category](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-do-i-successfully-mute-an-entire-sdmb-category/983778): > > 4 or 5 months ago I finally had had enough of seeing posts from one of the categories here (e.g. Great Debates, Factual Questions, etc.) so I looked up how to “mute” the whole category. I proceeded to do so but afterward there were still many threads from that category showing up in various lists. By “lists” I mostly mean what comes up when I click on “Latest” but I sometimes generate other lists as well (“New” for example). Now, I’m pretty sure that I’m missing something veeeeeery simple but … All I can say is that I’ve never got a reminder from the Pit since I muted it. (Maybe I’m so bland that no-one mentions me.) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sounds-of-silence/1008888)._
