"Watching" a thread

If you want to monitor or watch a thread or list of threads, you can now do so. Click the "watch" link by the thread title in either active conversations, or on the thread list, or at the top of the thread itself. To look at threads you are watching, click on the "Threads I'm watching" link at the top of any page. You'll see a quick snapshot of the last message that was there when you clicked "watch" and any others that have been added since. If you want to "reset" a watch so that next time you check you only see newer messages, click "reset watch", or just click watch again in the thread list.

Sorry, badly explained, but very simple.

Love,
Tech

They should all be ok now. Have made it say "add watch" instead of "watch" to make it clearer. Was going to use a little picture, but couldn't think what of. Hmm. Binoculars, glasses, magnifying glass? none quite right.

Hello. One is a-lurking from Frankfurt (oh the glamour, not). I intended the add watch on the lists to add it without taking you into the thread, but didn't get that far this am (insomnia / stopping smoking woke me at 5am) so thought would give it a go as was. I'll have another look at it at the weekend. It's a simple change.

I think if we do put it back it might be as a discreet little icon rather than a text link at the end of the line. A couple of people mentioned that it was distracting to the eye. I agree really. I think it would be better as a little icon to the left where the bullet point things are now.

Anyway for now I've taken it off active conversations but left it in the thread list on the topic pages.... just to be consistent.

Cheers,
Tech

When you click "active conversations" each thread has (or should have) a little black dot to the left of it like a bullet point. That's what I meant. maybe a small graphic to the left of / in place of that.
