Hi @Talkative Toad - thanks for raising this. We have since released some changes to the personalised feed which may have resolved this for you.

When you get a chance, can you take another look and see if you're still getting incorrect threads under the different categories and let me know?

Thanks again 🙂

Thanks, the same thing happens in the app and the tags for many threads are just completely wrong:

This issue is also occurring on the app by the way, just random meaningless tags and threads showing up in the wrong section.

So this is both a website and app issue for me.

@Talkative Toad the home feed has been updated and no longer has the forum filters, so I think this can be closed now if you're happy? :smile:

Could you raise that as a separate ticket, please? Just makes it a bit easier for us to keep track if each thread is for a single issue! :smile:
