Watchlist

[theymos]

I have added the much-requested "watchlist" feature. It's like "show new replies to your posts", but it only shows topics that you've chosen to watch, and you needn't have posted in the topic. I only added it to this forum's default theme, the SMF default theme, and BlackBox.

There is no listing of watched topics, and the only way to remove a watched topic from your list is to click "watch" again. Maybe I'll improve this later.

Sometime in the future I'll automatically remove all "sub" posts and convert them to watchlist entries. "Sub" posts are not allowed anymore. If you have any non-traditional "sub" posts, please delete them manually.

Tell me if there are any bugs.

Edit: new features:
- You can watch and unwatch topics you post to by using the checkbox in "additional options" when posting.
- You can have topics you post in be watched automatically by setting an option in your notification settings.
- You can move all topics you've posted in to your watchlist on this page.
- You can edit watchlist entries here.

Cool, this was an excellent surprise. I've never used the notify feature before, and now I'll never need to again .

Very nice!

Sub



This was a much needed feature, I was getting sick of bulanula's scammer tag thread popping up all the time.

Yeah, so no more senbonzakura's "hmm" either? Or subs all over the place?

Damn, i will miss those

I think the automated deletion should convert "hmm" as well as "sub", "subscribe", "subscribble", etc.

Cool. One thing though, when you click "notify", it tells you whether it is already enabled or not. Could this work the same way?
Also, Auto-watch and a list of watches are important things that need to be used to avoid "sub" posts.

Not sure if this is a bug or I am just missing something.  Tried adding 2 posts to my watch list by clicking the watch button and then clicking ok on the pop up.  However, clicking the Watchlist under the new replies link on the top left shows no messages.

I'm assuming it only shows them if there are new posts that you haven't read yet.

oic.  thanks.

It does; click "watch"and the link changes to "unwatch."

Heh, I didn't notice that. Perhaps it was changed within the past few minutes.

[Kluge]

Watching.

ETA: -- Thanks.

[RodeoX]

Neat.

[rjk]

Hmm, I wonder if it would be appropriate to have anything that is in the watchlist also show within "show new replies". (But not vice-versa, of course)

Yeah, I changed it.

[cbeast]

Watching.

Me too!

[Fiyasko]

I saw the "watchlist" and thought to myself "is that how people are subbing to threads?!?!" and started using it immediatly, THANKS!

[Meni Rosenfeld]

Wonderful, I've been waiting for ages for this.

But before I can use it I have to wonder: The watch list starts out empty, right? Is there a way to mark all threads I've posted in as watched? This way I can start using the watchlist instead of "new replies", and add and remove from it as I see fit.

A list of all watched topics would also be good, but not critical.

Auto-watch

In case this is what you mean and you're unaware: When replying there's a "Watch this topic" checkbox in additional options, and it can be set to checked by default in the profile settings.
