Forum Thread Watchlists

Thank you! Now that's service.

Huzzah!

I note that the "conversation list" button now names the subfora in question.

Nice, but "On Topic Conversations conversation list" is a mite awkward.

Wow, this is pretty great. Thanks, Fast Eddie!

A few minor issues:

When I add a thread to my watchlist, I see a list of threads that I'm watching. A) How do I get back to that list without adding a thread to the list? B) Can the thread names be links to the threads?

Edit: Never mind, I see it now. It's a link on the watchlist itself. However, question B remains.

One other request: have the subforum also listed in the table. So I can tell apart, say, the Healthcare Reform thread in On Topic Conversations and the one in Just Bugs Me.

That's in.

It would be nice if we can organize the "Watched Threads" list by sub-forum; you know, one click and all threads that come from the same sub-forum are grouped together separately from others.

Nah. I'm done fiddlin' with it.

Yeesh, kids these days are never content with what they've got. *is totally not asking for a "new posts" button on thread_watch.php*

That's easy enough. Calling it "post activity", so folks don't get confuzzled into thinking it means "new posts in the threads you are watching" — 'cuz that's what that page already does.

Makes sense. I think it still says "new posts" in places, though. Is that intentional?

^^^ I was just saying, is all. It's not like FastEddie is obligated to do everything we ask, in the first place.

Thank you Fast Eddie!

Two requests for the watched thread list, if you can:

1. Some indication of the last time the thread was updated (for those of us who want to stop watching threads that have been dead for a while).
2. Check boxes to stop watching a bunch of threads all in one go, or a similar mechanism.

1. Making a stickied Tech Wishlist thread for issues with thread watchlist (and other forum features for that matter) might save the space being used by needlessly creating multiple threads on the same core topic.
2. How can the new Discussion Pages be added to the watchlist independently of the main entries?
3. How do I add all of the sub-pages of a single "article" in one go, e.g. Bleach and its character sheet, 'It Just Bugs Me' page, Wild Mass Guessing, etc.? It's tedious to add them one by one, especially when I want add several articles and their subpages consecutively.
4. When watchlisting a "topic"'s main entry, the review page is also watchlisted automatically, and un-watchlisting it would do the same to the main entry and it's discussion page; that would've been only a minor inconvenience, if it weren't that each single review is treated as a separate watchlist item!
5. As it stands, Repair Shop threads only have the discussion title listed in the Watchlist, without the article title that is attached to it. Fixing that would be very nice.
