    Hey there! Nice to see you again!

    You remember that feature where you can watch a thread and get updates on things you like to keep track of?

    Screen Shot 2012-07-15 at 21.36.29.png

    Yeah, that one.

    Well, you can now do this on a forum-wide level. So, if you're an artist, you click this button here...

    ...and then you'll get a pop-up that will give you options like this...

    Screen Shot 2012-07-15 at 21.44.41.png

    As you can see, you can choose whether you want updates when new threads are created, or for every message that is submitted. You can then also choose if you'd like those updates to come to your email inbox, or just on the site as alerts. If you have created watch preferences, you can make changes to your watch subscriptions by going to this page here.

    We'd love to hear any feedback you have on this feature in the replies below.

    Thanks!

    This is a great tool and I shall be using it on a few forums I like to keep track of.
    Only thing is that I might end up with this more often...
    Show picture (open)
    Not that it's a problem though...

    Aye. It worked for me in the new member thread.
    The E-mail notification is not bad either and will come in handy when I only have time to browse during breaks at work.

    We'll see how this goes, but if it starts to slow the site down or cause issues for people, we can always turn it off again.

    We'll be keeping an eye on how people use this for the time being, and see if any problems arise.

    Fantastic, this'll save needing to remember the current number of threads in each subforum.

    Not sure I'll actually use this as I post in such an eclectic variety of forums that there aren't really any I need to watch.. but it's still a cool feature to have :)

    This is possibly the best and worst invention ever.

    "I can watch whole forums!"
    "TOO MANY NOTIFICATIONS!"

    Slight issue on the tab links watched threads and watched forums are separated by whats new, seems odd.
