Posts should be showing up in watchlist but are not?

[Peter Lambert]

I thought I saw this happening a while ago, and I just noticed it for sure happening right now: I clicked on the 'Watchlist' link, didn't see anything there, then I clicked on 'Show unread posts' and as I got to the bottom of the page I noticed a very familiar title, a thread which should be on my watchlist. I clicked back on 'watchlist', but the new post was not there. Sort of confused, I read the new post in the thread, and was going to add it to the watchlist, but I noticed instead of a 'watch' link in the thread it has the 'unwatch' link. So the post should have been in my watchlist but it was not. Is this a glitch in the forum software?

I've seen it before, but couldn't replicate it, so didn't report it.

same, couple of times. I thought it was just b/c there weren't new replies.

Maybe someone edited a post?  I've seen similar and I believe it happens when someone edits a post, it shows as unread but doesn't show up in the watchlist.

No, it was a new post.

ha! a good example, Tysat and PeterLambert's replies were new since mine but didn't appear on my watchlist.

When this happened to me, it was because two thread with the same title were posted in two forums, and I was watching only one of them.

Not implying this happened to you of course, but that's worth considering.
