Threads I'm On and Threads I'm Watching - are you listening to us MNHQ?

[BIWI]

They are totally different things.

We use them differently.

Lots of us have told you this, but there's been no response from you or the Tech team.

How on earth did you think that this was an improvement?

And why aren't you responding to us?

Yes, completely agree.

Are MNHQ on their summer hols and left the kids in charge?

I don't want every thread that I post on to be on my watched list.

Please make it stop!

Completely agree.

Totally agree. I posted on the other thread too.

I just don't understand the thinking behind it.

I don't want every thread that I post on to be on my watched list.

Please make it stop!

Agree. It'll be the same response as to the stupid trending tab over there to the right. We hear ya but..........

I don't understand the point of having 2 different options of Threads I'm On and Thread I'm Watching, if every post you are on, is automatically added to the Watched Threads list.

I don't understand what's driven it, I would be interested to know whether it was a survey, general volume of ad-hoc requests etc.?

And why this change has been made, when the most frequently requested change (IME) about watched threads, for the 'Deleted' message to be shown so threads don't get clogged up with place markers, hasn't been acknowledged?

And the change ref. the OP posts not being highlighted is just stupid. It will only lead to more people not RTFT.

Quite, Ego.

Also totally agree.

I'm totally confused by this.

Unless MNHQ are planning to get rid of TIO, it doesn't make any sense.

This hasn't happened to me. I'm wondering if it's because I've only been on the mobile site recently.

Hello
Yes we are listening.
BUT I don't have any answers.

I am a late night owl and know nothing of what goes on by the mysterious 9 to 5 ers
Yes I know this is crap but I will get one of them to come and talk to y'all in the morrow.
SORRY

You really drew the short straw, didn't you!

Hello know nothing of what goes on by the mysterious 9 to 5 ers

Not that I know nothing, I do generally know most things (TSSDNCOP) But I DON'T know THIS is a BETTER way of putting it.

Olivia, you need to keep repeating to them "Threads I'm On is threads that I have posted on. I do not necessarily need to follow these, I might have been chatting about something inconsequential or talking drivel.

Threads I'm Watching might be interesting or funny things but I may not have posted on them".

Some of us like to keep our inane witterings in a separate place to interesting and funny stuff

I like to keep trolls threads I'm watching, separate from TIO.

Indeed. Having the box autofilled is as annoying as completing a registration online an finding it has automatically signed you up to receiving 25 bits of spam everyday

It must be to merge them? I recently got rid of a load of TIW stuff - and now it's all filling up again

Oh hell, I hadn't even seen this. I rarely use TIW. Doesn't mean I want it changed though. I "save" interesting or useful threads on there, some are years old & I wouldn't have a chance of finding them again.

I don't want notifications on any thread - why is the box now ticked as default? So annoying!

Agreed it should be tick to add if you want to add it to your watched.

as I imagine some big posters who post loads.......their lists will probably self combust!

yup!

TIO - threads i'm actively posting on following.

Watch List - threads i'm interested in and am keeping an eye on for updates, but dont want to 'place mark' post on!

And i do NOT want to 'watch' every goddam thread!!

omg i have just come on to moan about this!!!!

if i post on a thread i am on it-i don't need to watch it!

if i see a thread that is a bit crazy/interesting but have nothing to contribute to it i watch it!

what is the bloody point in adding every thread i post on to my watched list??

why? who on earth though this doozy up?
