In the past, I only got a "solved" notification when someone marked my post as the solution. However, I just got notified that Lifetime puzzle: Eliminate allocations for hashmap keys and When lazy iterators don't iterate got solved - when I didn't even post in either topic, I'd merely viewed them.
Looking in my preferences, I found this setting enabled:
Notify when a topic that I am Tracking or Watching is solved. Only applies to topics in categories that allow solutions.
I for one find this behavior surprising. I understand wanting to be informed on updates to certain topics, but I for one browse a large number of topics, so I end up with a large number of "tracked" topics. If I really want to be notified, I'll watch the topic.
So is this a change to Discourse, or just a default we changed? What do others think of this?
