Watching Forums

[Gina19]

Hi,

I am new on here and was wondering how I could watch a forum? I have found the link to view the forums you've watched, but not how to actually watch it to begin with. It may be useful for me as I don't have time to log in all the time.

Thanks

Hi @Gina19,
To watch a forum, go to the cog icon in the top right corner. There should be an option to "Watch" shown, as shown by my annotations on the below screenshot of the forum interface:

(Apologies for the crude annotation...)

I hope that helps!

Also any thread you post in will be added to your watch list automatically too.

Hey, what's a watch list?
Not been here long enough then.
Noticed the chatbox has dropped off the list as well...
"Mark forums read", now that's the button!

The way I understand it (and anyone can correct me) is that you can post a thread, or a reply to a thread and then get alerted of activity in said thread (either through the forum, emails or both).

I think there is something wrong with it

It isn't letting me watch the forums I want

To be fair, if you just comment on the occasional thread and click the 'new posts' lightning thing once a day you won't miss anything

Are you saying I can just click on that (the new posts section), and see everything? Cool..
