Watch list - again!

4 replies

Threads I've posted on have the Watch box pre-ticked. Why? I've posted on them, I don't need to Watch them.

I can't find anywhere on my Account or Profile to switch it off. It's completely pointless having it there. I only ever Watch threads I haven't posted on and I know I'm not alone in that. I'm on is quite adequate for finding threads I'm interested in and have posted on.

As it is, it's messing up my Watch list.

Please, pretty please with gin on top, stop it?

Hi Jux - if you go into Customise at the top of the page, you can turn this off so you won't automatically watch threads.

I forgot where it was!

Unfortunately, those boxes are unchecked already. I remember doing that when the thread watch box first appeared.

I have no idea why it's just started happening again, or how to stop it!

Hi Jux! Sorry about this. We'll ask Tech if they have any idea how to reset it properly. Bear with us...

Hi again Jux. We've had Tech take a look at your account and they can't see anything wrong here. Would you mind having another try now? Perhaps log out and back in again first, too. If it's still happening just let us know and we'll see if there's anything else we can do to stop it.
