I'm late to replay, we had rough start of year in my country (earthquakes and stuff) so i was preoccupied with offline duties. Anyway, yes i saw it but not being updated in some closer date time i did not give it much thoughts and i discarded it quiet fast. Thanks on your message, i will take a look at it and see if i can build exporter for my current forum.

Is there a plugin or native setting that would allow me to set certain topic or category to be ignored for everyone (so that not everyone has to do it for themselves but still be able to unignore if they wish)? I would like to let users post in certain topic / category but without triggering "unread" status (like off topic category etc.)

That's interesting, thanks for sharing the conclusion!

Here you go. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/pull/5828 After i slept on it, i changed position of hook so it works for both "delay loading" turned on and off. Original place was working only for delay loading turned on so it needed one more hook inside "unloadImages" function and i prefer solutions with less code.
