I continue to see possible bug on thread pages... eg, new thread, I post a comment, then go to the top of page "Watch" -- click it and popup open do you want to "Unwatch" -- I would think that if I post something and I am then "auto-watching" that thread because of the post, then page would also refresh and change from Watch to Unwatch. I assume I am not the only one to see this.

Too often to my liking, I see replies by Bot that are essentially simply derivatives of the post to which is replied, and that have no real added value. To me, this is just meaningless and useless. Also, there are posts by Bot in which it gives the impression it watched a video and responds to that. Some time ago Bot said that as an AI, it cannot watch videos. So, if another time it gives the impression it watched a video, I think Bot is hallucinating again.
Because of all that, I decided to set Bot as Ignored.

Setting Bot as Ignored has an unexpected result.
With Bot set as Ignored, new threads that have only the original post plus a reply by Bot, do not show in Latest, https://malwaretips.com/whats-new/.
But when I select View more, https://malwaretips.com/whats-new/posts/?skip=1, new threads that have only the original post plus a reply by Bot, do show correctly.
Is it a bug, that with Bot set as Ignored, new threads that have only the original post plus a reply by Bot, do not show in Latest, https://malwaretips.com/whats-new/, or is this intended behavior?
For now, I set Bot back to Unignored.

Are there any thoughts about that?
I thought the Site Issues and Feedback thread was the best place to post, as the issue is about the workings of "Latest" vs. "View more", with Bot set as Ignored.
Should I better repost my yesterday's post in the "MalwareTips integrates AI into Forums" thread, https://malwaretips.com/threads/MalwareTips-integrates-ai-into-forums.121343/?

Confirmed, I have noticed the same if the Bot is set to ignored...
I don't know if possible to change something in the forum software regarding the Bot, maybe there is a solution @Jack

@Jack I've got an issue, not sure if anyone else noticed.

On Firefox, if you add an emoji, you can't continue to write post after that emoji. You can only write in front of emoji.

Is it possible to fix that?
Never noticed that before since my default browsers these day are Edge and Chrome. But you're right, with those 2 I can post after an emoji, but not with FF.

I don't have that bug, but rather another one, possibly related?. When I post multiple emojis, the second, third, etc. always appear on the next line, no matter what I do. Very annoying.

Just a quick comment. I use the New Posts button to read this forum everyday, but I'm getting tired of all the "Unlimited Giveaway " threads that are becoming more frequent . Anyway to get filter these out when checking new posts? Thanks.
Yes! It would be fantastic to be able to ignore and/or follow prefixes!
@Jack please make this possible.

And a lot of them, IMO, are for off-the-wall, bizarre apps that I've never heard of or would want to use and maybe do tend to be spam? Again, just my opinion.
