Any idea why threads drop off my 'I'm watching'?

42 replies

TalisaMaegyr · 22/01/2014 15:12

At least once a day, a couple of threads I'm watching disappear. I can find them again because I know what they're called, but I re-'watch' them again, only for them to drop off again later.

Any ideas what might be causing this please?

On an iPad, using Safari, how can I get rid of a thread 'I'm watching'?
Pretty please. Don't think I ever clicked on it but I don't know how to remove it. TIA.

It's still doing it for me but I haven't had a chance to monitor exactly when it happens. I do think it has something to do with the 'watch this thread' box under the comment box - is this relatively new MNHQ?

Never mind. I'm a moron. Turns out I have 2 accounts (I didn't know I had this one and logged in accidentally) and I log into my "new" one at home and my "old" one (this one) at work... I will PM MNHQ to see if they can be merged or... something :S

Sorry!

Thanks all - sorry this is happening.

Could you all please let us know:

whether you're using the app, the desktop site or the mobile site;
which browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer) you're using (if you're on desktop or mobile site); and
which device you're having trouble on (PC, Apple computer, iPhone, iPad, Samsung phone or tablet, Windows phone or tablet, etc)

Thanks

All my watched threads just disappeared... no idea why. Posting on them didn't make them disappear before. I was able to add one back and I have one more to add back but there's others I'm sure I'm forgetting...

Threads drop off my I'm watching list if I post on them, I assumed this was (a pain but okay) normal. That's not what's happening is it? (I am sure I am way off the mark)

ThePearShapedToad · 08/02/2014 22:21

Hi HQ, this has been happening to me for a week now, started a thread about it a few days ago and also adding my plea to this one!

And I can't remember all the threads I was watching

Still losing TIW threads.

WingDefence · 29/01/2014 15:51

No that's not happened to me Rowan.

Hmm

I've found myself that threads are randomly being added to my Watch List - anyone else getting that?

BOFtastic · 28/01/2014 23:35

Mine are randomly disappearing too.

WingDefence · 25/01/2014 21:58

This has been happening to me to. I thought I'd check on here before posting a thread.

I wondered if it was something to do with the 'watch this thread box' under the comment box. I tend to click on 'watch' at the top of a thread but perhaps if that box isn't ticked under my comment, even if it has been on my TIW list and I've come to it from there, it 'unwatches' it somehow?

I use MN on my phone (safari), ipad (safari) and laptop (IE) so I haven't noticed whether it happens after I've been on one item or another.

Hi there,

Thanks for flagging. We'll see if our tech team knows what's going on.

There's another thread in Site Stuff about this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/1975724-Ive-lost-my-Im-Watching-list

No, that's not it. My 'threads I'm on' is set at 50 and there's no option to customise 'threads I'm watching' Confused

NymodigFruOla · 22/01/2014 16:36

Have you limited the number of threads you're watching? I.e., 25, 50 or whatever? Could you check in Customise to see how many?
