Title: Watchlist shows posts which are not on my watchlist
Post by: actuallytwolamas on June 07, 2018, 08:27:36 PM
I'm specifically talking about Announcements (Altcoins) 159. This board is not on my watchlist, but from time to time I keep seeing threads from that board, in my watchlist. Is it a bug, or is it promotional posts?

You've probably commented on them for them to appear in your watchlist?

There is no such thing as "promotional posts".

Go to the Watch board (https://bitcointalk.org/watch_board.php) and see if the Announcements board is there. If it is, type the id (159) in the textbox and press "Unwatch board".

So I went through some of those threads from my watchlist, to make sure, and I didn't commented on any of those threads(Made comment in a single thread, and only because I found it on my watchlist).

There is no such thing as "promotional posts".

Go to the Watch board (https://bitcointalk.org/watch_board.php) and see if the Announcements board is there. If it is, type the id (159) in the textbox and press "Unwatch board".

Just guessing about "promotional posts" :D

That board was on my watchlist, but like a week ago I removed it.


So I'm digging deeper, for example, this thread "[ANN][ICO]Westrend Coin: The Blockchain based Real Estate Investment Platform" posted Today at 10:22:21, and it's somehow marked to watch that thread, and I'm pretty sure I didn't press to watch that thread, because all that section is a shitshow.

You could probably do with changing your password just in case that's the issue.

Do you usually do something with the altcoin section normally tha tmight have accidentally made you click "watch board" at the top?

I think if there were a promotion scheme like that, a lot of us would leave (I would consider it) because this is a Bitcoin forum and we can't be looking at other currencies more favourably than Bitcoin without changing the name.

Stuff will still come up even though you have unwatched the board since then. If that thread was started before then then it'll still be on your watchlist, you'll have to go through a tedious task of removing ALL of them individually.

So I monitored my watchlist all day and looks like when you add a board to watchlist from the date when you added it, all threads from that board are automatically marked as to Watch, and when you remove the board, all threads to date are marked as Watch, and you have to remove them manually.

Yes., that's correct. You have to go through everything individually and delete them from the list.
