Why do I keep getting this “Enjoying this thread? Why not add it to your watch list” message every time I move on to a new page of a thread that I haven’t posted on?

It’s bloody annoying that when I’m starting to read a thread that’s 20 pages long this nonsense message pops up every time I move on to a new page.

Lots of threads I just want to skip through and not engage with, so I really don’t want to add to a watch list. Stop asking me please.

@Willow1981 I'm so sorry to hear that. Flowers

Also insensitivity worded. I have been reading miscarriage threads due to my situation. No, 8m not enjoying reading about it!

Yes it feels unsettling and intrusive. Please get rid of it MNHQ! I'm perfectly capable of adding a thread to my watch list without being hassled thanks! Angry

Yes, I have backed out of many multiple threads this evening because every time I went to the next page the massive "Enjoying this thread?" pop up interrupted my reading and I got too irritated to continue as it happened on every page (on my phone browser I can't expand to more than 20 posts per page)

How do I know if I want to add a thread to my watch list if you won't let me bloody read what is there in peace so I can decide whether it is worth the watch list investment?!

Sometimes, especially in longer threads, the question/issue posed by the OP has been resolved by the time I am reading so no I don't want to add the thread to my watch list, I just want to get some closure/am interested in some of the generated discussion points.

I find the watch list really hard as it adds in everything I have posted on so it can be a huge list and if I have just read and not posted it can be hard to work out where I am. I've not posted what is suggested here but ican see why some would
