How long do watched threads last?

Just wanted to ask, when you watch a thread rather than comment on it, how long does it stay on your account? Do they expire?

TIA.

Hi there SingaporeSlander,

Thanks for flagging!

They don't expire. They'll stay on your watch list until you decide to remove them. Hope this helps!

Threads that are deleted will vanish though, so anything in chat, 30 days or OTBT will go as well as any thread MNHQ delete

Thanks both - very helpful! What is OTBT?

OTBT ("Off The Beaten Track") is under "Talk", is low traffic, doesn't ever show up as an "Active" conversation, and isn't Googleable.

So is often used for sensitive situations, when discretion, anonymity or even safety concerns are paramount.

Posters can flag up (via Private Message) to other MNers they're continuing a discussion there, for instance.

HTH!

How interesting, been here for a while and didn't know about that one!

Thanks!
