"The point this member is trying to make, and that I agree with, is that it should be an option to have the thread watched, not to have it unwatched."

"Exactly...they don't want them watched automatically."

"I've got no problem the feature - I would just prefer it to be something you have to tick rather than untick. I don't know how much you post on message boards, but for those of us that can make literally thousands of post over a 3 month period (and will probably visit the boards every day as much for the community of friends as for any specific info), I don't need or want a reminder of every thread I post in. In some cases, a reminder is helpful, but I'd rather not have to remember to uncheck it every time I post.

Cap, thanks for your help in trying to explain this."
