Here is my scenario, I'm watching the Logstash category to not miss anything and would like to quickly discard (mute?) irrelevant topics from their title. Currently I need to open the topic and mute it. I would be faster to do this action from the category topic listing IMHO. Do you think it would be helpful to others, technically possible? Thanks Edit: interesting discussion/explanation in [https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-mark-as-read/2272](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-mark-as-read/2272) ---

We already have a magic shortcut for bookmarking, try hitting j to highlight a row and then hit b I am not against allowing you to "mute" directly from there but we would need to pull in some extra info info the row to show what just happened ---

Thansk for the quick update and the hint about key shortcut! I thinks the use case I should follow is describe in this comment #42 of this thread [https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-mark-as-read/2272/42](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-mark-as-read/2272/42) 1. read/bookmark all new posts that I like 2. Dismiss the rest with the **Dissmiss new** button However this button is not visible in [https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logstash/l/new](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logstash/l/new) I suppose it is coming in a next update of discourse ? ---

Yeah thats a missing feature we have which we will add, its there here: [https://discuss.elastic.co/new](https://discuss.elastic.co/new) but missing when you drill into a category. ---

> [@wiibaa](#): > > are there plan to activate on [discuss.elastic.co](http://discuss.elastic.co) We need to build it first, plan to get it going but have not had a chance to build it yet. ---
