posts going into I'm watching automatically

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

this never used to happen, I could post and see them on 'I'm on' but they never went into 'I'm watching' unless I ticked the box, now it seems as if the box is ticked by default and I forget to untick it every time. can anyone tell me if there is away to untick it as a default position? and why has this suddenly started happening?

Where have you been? This is an on purpose "improvement" by MNHQ that caused a lot of controversy last week. You can turn it off through the custom menu. Luckily mine hasn't started doing it yet.

Sorry to hear that stepawayfromtheEccles cakes. Hope you're doing ok.

My "where have you been?" was meant to be a light hearted jokey comment and I hope you weren't offended.

Condolences to you and your family.
