Lothos Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Is there any chance of separating the watched threads preference between replied to threads and authored threads? I want to watch threads i make, but I really don't want to watch every single thread I reply to. Also, I would change the default user setup to not be emailed for every single watched thread post. From past website administration that is a metric ass-ton of unnecessary server load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorcer Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 If you go into your preferences there is an option to turn off e-mails and to stop automatically watching threads you reply to. Unfortunately if you uncheck the auto watch it stops automatically watching threads that you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately if you uncheck the auto watch it stops automatically watching threads that you create. hence why I asked if there could be a tweak done to separate the two. and yes, I know there is the option to turn off the emails. My point was from a server admin stance I wouldn't have that on by default simply from a load/bandwidth/cpu usage standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merchant of Menace Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You can manually unwatch threads. Just click the "stop watching this thread" button. It's not like it's a whole lot of effort :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Shot Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It's more effort then having not watch be the default and selecting threads you'd like to watch. I'll look into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothos Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 i'm tempted to go cheaps route simply because its a pain in the ass to unwatch every damn thread you trol...er respond into. And yes, its alot of effort to unwatch 10 pages of threads from 9 months if you haven't been keeping up to date :/ I was only wondering if it was at all feasible within the forum software to separate the two choices.
