Every time I post on a thread it seems to be added to my Watch list

Hi everyone - please do leave your feedback about the changes on this thread. We'll also add updates to that thread to let you know what's being done.

Thanks all.

For fuck's sake! I don't want to watch every thread I post on and I don't want to have to go into I'm Watching and click remove!

Hugely annoying.

ToadsJustFellFromTheSky · 05/08/2015 21:02

Same here and it's driving me crazy.

The only time I watch a thread is when I don't want to post on it but still want to keep track of it iyswim so it seems a bit pointless to me.

VivaLeBeaver · 05/08/2015 20:33

I'm not happy. I use the watch this thread very infrequently for stuff I might want to find in a few years. I'm not going to remember to untick every time. I don't want to lose my colours. What's going on?

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 17:31

Anyone know if you can get your colours back yet?

MiracletoCome · 05/08/2015 17:04

Its going on my watch list also, but not going to change anything in case I lose my colours.

FryOneFatManic · 05/08/2015 15:23

There's no need to automatically add people to the watch list when they post, as you can see which threads you've posted in via the "I'm On" link.

It's just duplicating stuff for no reason.

BYOSnowman · 05/08/2015 11:07

And bow in threads I'm on it isn't restricted to last few posts but to at least ten

Have mnhq never heard the expression 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'

Flaperon · 05/08/2015 10:22

Ugh. This should be opt-in, not opt-out. Every time I post on a thread I have to go and remove it from my watch list.

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 09:02

This is really shit.

Now my posts are the same colour as everybody elses, I keep reading them by accident, and they are really fucking boring Sad

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:53

Just reported my post where I say you can turn it off, as people will turn it off without realising they are losing colours. I'm misleading people.

BYOSnowman · 05/08/2015 08:47

Why the hell do mn think anyone wants to automatically watch every thread they click into?

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 08:46

I just put my options to watch back on and no colours back.

And I think it has dropped me down to 20 posts a page without me telling it too.

This is the worst thing to happen to me since I dropped my ice-cream on the pavement on holiday in Guernsey when I was 6

Your warning has come too late for me, Mixed Berries.

I wasn't expecting to be sent into a severe existential crisis by MN this morning Sad

I'm on the main thread in Site Stuff, tis stickied & it appears that there is no way of getting your colours back at the moment. Lots of posters unhappy. MNHQ said that they have a clear out of customise options & it looks as though the colours have gone :(

FanOfHermione · 05/08/2015 08:41

Youre right whirlpool I canbt get them back either :(

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 08:39

where do I change the colours back? I can't find the options any more........

Dear god this is AWFUL

(mild over-reaction)

FanOfHermione · 05/08/2015 08:38

Me too.
And now that I've played with removing the 'put in watch' thingy, the colours ahve come back but different.

I do know though that I have the email notifications unchecked and that seems to be OK.

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 08:37

I've unticked it and now my posts aren't a different colour any more!

arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:33

And on my 'I'm On' page there are loads of posts showing for each thread instead of the 5 or so there was before!!

Crosbybeach · 05/08/2015 08:32

I couldn't change it back. It's a pain!

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:31

I can't get my colours back on :(

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:30

Just found that out Crosby & trying to change it back! :)
