Feature update - Threads I’m on / Watching / Started lists

Hi, another quick update about a feature change that was just released.

Following the re-platforming we had a lot of feedback about the threads I’m on/ watching / started lists not being as useful as they used to be.

Changes we've made:

  • The lists are organised by default to show the most recently updated threads apart from threads I started which defaults from new to old
  • There will be a ‘new post’ icon next to the threads that have been updated that will tell you how many new posts there are to read since you last saw the thread e.g. 2 new posts
  • When you click through on the title you’ll land on the last post you read
  • When you click through on a specific post you’ll go directly to that post
  • Deleted threads will still be visible and you have the option to remove them from your list by clicking the three dot menu to the right of the thread title
  • You can still pin threads to the top of the lists using the pin feature under the three dot menu
Hope you like the update!

Would there be any way to differentiate whether someone is looking at their "Threads I'm On" list to their "Threads I'm Watching" list as they both appear exactly the same to me.

I'm using Edge Chromium on a laptop.

Yes I’ve wondered this for a while. Ideally I’d want “I’m watching” to include only the ones I am watching but haven’t posted on. Instead, it always includes both TIO and TIW, has done for ages.

@LookItsMeAgain @HaveringWavering

Are you automatically watching threads when you reply? If so, this is a setting within 'talk settings'. Can you just check this?

I'm running Chrome on an Android phone.

@LilyMumsnet yes, looks like I was! Thanks. Have turned that off now.

But what is the purpose of that setting (which I think defaults to yes)? What do I gain from watching a TIO when it’s already in TIO?
