App adding threads you've posted on to "Watched" threads

The app suddenly seems to have started automatically adding threads you post on to "watched" threads. Every time I post on a thread now, I have to unwatch it Hmm

If I want to watch a thread, I choose to watch it. If I post on a thread, then I can check "Threads I'm On" Hmm

In rare occasions, I might choose to watch a thread that I am also on (as I might use it for reference once it has filled up).

This seems unnecessary duplication and is irritating Angry

Ok thanks guys, we're working on adding some settings that will allow you to disable this on the app. I can see why this would be irritating!

Will let you know when something is released for this.

Hey guys, thanks for bringing up this issue. I actually didn't realise the auto-watched threads was an irritation, so this is helpful to hear. I'm going to look into it, firstly:

  • Threads not watched will not receive notifications (obviously)
  • We don't have space on the app post composer to provide all the settings of the web, so we need to choose one way or another

So a question:
Who here would miss auto-watching threads you're on?
