Bookmarking adds to watch list and creates notification I cannot dismiss.

I can see that MNHQ have been tinkering again...

On one of the posts I bookmarked it added it too my watch list (which I don't want and it never used to) and it also created a massive "added to watch list" notification which I was unable to dismiss and prevented me doing anything else on the page. I think it may have happened on this particular thread as I had no previous bookmarks?

Please don't make bookmarks add a thread to the watch list.

Please don't make notifications you can't dissmis...

I like the easy bookmark button and changing the colour of the post for ease of identification when scrolling through.

But yes the sudden added to watchlist pop-up notification is irritating and can't be got rid of.

Argh! Came here to make thisbthread.

Yes what is this? Driving me bonkers

Just came on to start a thread on this. It's very annoying (both things). I bookmark every single thread I read just in case but don't want it adding to a watch list.

And the pop up window thing telling me it's been added can't be closed. You have to close mn or your browser to get rid of it. I just had to restart my phone too as it was still there when I reopened mn!!!

Grrrrr.

I really like the new bookmark button and I love that you've changed the colour of the bookmarked page.
But the massive pop up that won't go away is totally annoying! Please lose it. Why do we need that notification anyway?

Just came to see if this was a problem for everyone.

Stop making the site unusable please.

Sigh. This is happening to me too. It’s like a big pop up (on the mobile site safari iPhone)

Had to shut down the webpage to come back to report

I am also finding this incredibly annoying. I bookmark every thread when I get to the end just in case I click again at some point. I don't want them on my watch list. I've checked customise and can't see how to change the option. I can't dismiss the pop up either, have to hit back to leave the page. This is the mobile site using Chrome on a Samsung phone.

Some experimentation suggests that this does indeed happen when a thread is bookmarked for the first time.

Please make it stop.
