Watched threads now working, but I'm still not getting email notification.
Or just click the 'Show All Watched Threads' link at the bottom, and bookmark that.My work around.
I've always kept bookmarks on my browsers bar. Typically "Subscribed Threads" and "New Posts". Create a bookmark for "Watched Threads" then change the properties so the URL it points to is "http://www.usmessageboard.com/watched/threads/all". This will display all "Watched" threads both with and without unread responses.
With the two bookmarks, I can quickly access my two most used methods of checking posts.

Don't want to get into bookmarks for something the site should be able to do.
We already have the ability to scroll down; that's not the point.
I missed this post. You do basically the same thing.I am wondering since 'watched threads' is now our UserCP if I could be coded to work like a UserCP instead of "Unread watched threads? I used my UserCP to access all the active threads I was involved in whether or not there was new activity. But now once you click on the thread it then disappears until there is more activity. I would like for it to remain there as it did in the old User CP because sometimes I want to return to it later to respond to something I didn't have time to do at the time. The 'news feed' and 'content' are very nice features that I like, but they do not serve the same purpose.

I got in the habit of selecting 40, and here 100, because my neighborhood had frequent Comcast outages, and if I opened up enough forum tabs I could keep reading until the Internet came back on.Be nice to be able to select under Preferences 'show only last 10 posts' instead of 30-100. If there's a wish list, that's mine. With the infinite replies thing some of these are getting really long and loading an a page with 30 replies with a dozen replies in each of them (Ferguson threads notably) it's taking a while to load each page.
It's conflicting with the NSA listening devices.This update has made the board, for ME, basically a nightmare. It crashes I can't use most of the functions it's slow the pming thing is horrible.

Not sure we are on the same page. I have frequently used bookmarks across the top of my Firefox. One of them is USMB.com. I used the 'Show All Watched Threads' link (http://www.usmessageboard.com/watched/threads/all) as my toolbar link.
So instead of using the instant scroll to the top of the page, then clicking Watched Threads, then scrolling down to the 'Show All Watched Threads' link, I just get there from my toolbar link.

I know, but putting it on the bookmark bar I can open the browser and one click to the place I want to go instead of have to navigate multiple clicks to get there.
Much more efficient.

I guess you don't use your Bookmark Toolbar. It's great. I just drag all my frequently used onto it and it's always handy.Or just click the 'Show All Watched Threads' link at the bottom, and bookmark that.
I already have it bookmarked on this computer but it would have to be done every time you change computers or devices or browsers. I just want it work like the old UserCP key and all those extra steps are eliminated.
@Foxfyre
Here's a stroke that may make it slightly easier I just figured out--
The only difference in the link for "watched threads" (that doesn't show already-read ones) and "all watched threads" (that does) is the </all> at the end of the URL. So clicking "watched" and then adding "/all" to the URL will take you there. Still an extra step but easier than going to Bookmarks.
(the Bookmark function, especially in Firefox, is a convoluted couterinuitive mess)
No, it's not a power issue, it's a Comcast issue. I'm on a UPS right now. But because I live in an area that places a huge priority on preserving trees and canopy roads, Comcast is restricted in where they can dig and where they can run cabling. Plus we get a lot of storms and tree limbs are forever coming down, taking the internet out with it. It sucks, but whatcha gonna do?I got in the habit of selecting 40, and here 100, because my neighborhood had frequent Comcast outages, and if I opened up enough forum tabs I could keep reading until the Internet came back on.
You could do what I do and use a UPS. Modem's never offline
Mine is set to 20 posts per page, which I do remember being a Preferences setting in vBulletin. I guess those preferences carried over but I don't see a similar Preferences setting here... ?
Still haven't seen where we can cut off avatars. Is that no longer an option? It is good to have for people with weak signal strengths or limited data plans. I sometimes cut them off on sites particularly on real windy days when my connection strength gets crappy.
It is not an option.

Thanks for changing your avi.....I could hardly stand to look at your disfigured rocky one.....
I didn't do anything but it started working, received 3 emails. I have more items on my watch threads list than 3 though *shrug*Watched threads now working, but I'm still not getting email notification.
Did you check the box on the "receive email when a new conv msg is received" in your contact information? Go take a look if you haven't already, if it is checked, then you should be getting them, contact CK in the Software Update thread.
Never mind. I done figgered it out.
