I've grown to hate the "Watch This Thread" feature, as it leaves the forums page dominated by the same few threads, which mostly stopped growing and I'm no longer interested in.  On top of that, I mostly found I fell into having them marked as watched by accident, because it was the default when I posted. Is there no way to "unwatch" a thread?  It's annoying, I think.

I've mixed feelings, in fact, about first seeing threads to which I've contributed rather than new ones, but I'll defer to others. What I'd most want is for one to be able to jump to the end of a thread or, much better still, to the first contribution since the last one I saw. Right now, we go back to the top, sometimes with multiple pages to come, and have to try to find our place. But I suppose that's a much more ambitious interface request.

P.S. I see I have found myself watching this, too, by mistake!

Or if you go to the Preferences tab you can go to the bottom of the page and stop watching all unwanted topics at once. :)

Thanks.  I was looking for those options.  Sorry I didn't find them on my own. 

I haven't seen it (or indeed hadn't actually heard of it).  Thanks for mentioning, and I'm relieved you don't have to eat a bag of rice personally for each question you answer.  I'll look when I can. Lousy week.

Hmmm, I thought you were a sure bet.... I played off and on one day, just left the window open, gave away 20,000 grains of rice and  never got beyond 50, kept bumping back and forth between 48-50.  I'd get a couple at 50 and start watching the level... and then they threw the  really wild, what the heck is that? words  at me.  Good thing a geek like me thinks such stuff is fun... I mean, fiddling around here and there clicking on 1000 definitions for less than 1 pound of rice? Yeah, there's  time  well  spent LOL. :) Perhaps I should have just written them a check?
