Threads I'm on copied to watching?

All the threads I'm on seem to have copied on to my Watch list. Anyone else?

Just me? How do I get them off my watch list (I'm on an iPhone)? I'm being bombarded with emails!

This has happened to me too. I can't find a way to switch off the emails. Please can you get this sorted.

When you're posting, there's a "Watch this thread" button under the message box - you need to tick that to stop it from adding it to both the "I'm on" list and the "Watch" list.

I think if you open threads that you're watching, there's a button that lets you unwatch the thread, but I'm not sure if that's in the same place on the iOS app. Sorry!

Yes, same here.
I've woken up to a gazillion emails jamming up my inbox!

On iOS you need to click on the little arrow to the top right of the thread, this brings down various options.

Why are threads I'm on automatically added to my watch list?

I've unwatched this thread, but every time I post it's re-added to the watch list.
Irrationally pissed off with this.
If I wanted to watch a thread I'd do it.
Is this a glitch or deliberate?

Sorry to piss on your chips - but I'm glad they've fixed it 😄.

It used to do it and then for some reason it stopped and MNHQ never did tell me what the problem was, but now it's sorted so it doesn't matter.

I think if you customise your talk settings there is an option to turn off adding TIO to TIW.

I just want it to not email me. I don't want any emails from mumsnet.

I've just updated my settings - br how did it happen in the first place? It started just yesterday, I hadn't changed anything, it just started out of the blue!

Hi there,

Sorry to hear a few of you have been inundated with emails. Sad

Now everyone's updated their settings (thanks to the good advice from Anchor and Milk), is everything back to normal?

We're thinking there was a temporary glitch causing this, but we'll get our Tech team involved if people are unable to turn off the notifications.

Do let us know.

I was getting this too Xmas Sad I've never changed my settings and this has only happened over the last 12 hours. I've now unticked the box to watch threads I'm on that I never ticked in the first place
I'm also getting asked to log on when I am already logged on and was redirected to a log in page which didn't appear secure - no green padlock icon. I'm on Silk Browser on a Kindle Fire.

Mine randomly started doing it today. Very irritating but at least it's stopped now. I haven't had any problems since I changed the settings on threads I'm watching.

Hi all - can we just ask which devices and browsers you're using? We can't seem to recreate it at the mo.
