Is the watchlist now working for you all?

Please comment here and let us know.

I have been having big problems with it for a couple of days, but reading Matthew's comment, I shall try clearing it and see if it behaves itself from now on. Hope so!

 OK Watchlist should be working again.  Key changes are explained in the new text at the top of the Watchlist - but perhaps the niggest change is that the Watchlist should be SUPERFAST !

When you tick an item now it will make all of that "thread of discussion" as "read" - if you click on any item through to a thread you are watching then the same will happen.  The system will assume you have read the whole thread of discussion.

This should make watchlists much more relevant and useful.

We also consider as "read: any items older than 3 months - the topics/articles/blogs etc are still being watched but the activity on the item is marked as "read" after 3 months

This makes everything run a very great deal faster across the whole site - Feedback welcomed !

 We have made a change to watchlist but clearly there are some bugs to iron out - apologies for this, we will sort out ASAP !

Yes I am and so has my daughter Nell18-3

Its very annoying and I can't use my watchlist at the moment

Love Pauline

Yes mine is still the same today not cancelling at all

Love Pauline

yes pauline  (pauline270 had same problem. i did initially but i had to click into the actaul blorg comment or lounge and click it there on watch to unwatch.For some reason when you have made a comment personally you actually have to click on the actual item / watch and not just on the screen that says what your watchlist is. so it was back and forth back and forth back and forth until the whole list was exhausted including the figure in brackets you know 7 more to see click  ...

it wouldnt allow you to remove the whole unwatch configuration in one hit!  normally you can !!!
