    Is it possible for you mods to change it so everyone gets alerts automatically from threads? For everyone?
    I find it really annoying that when you do something there you never get notified or anything..

    Thanks baby cakes.

    You can select "Watch Forum" or "Watch Thread" if you just want to get alerts for individual threads.

    Yeah I know I do that, but it seems to run out over a certain time?
    And I want it so other clan members for example get an alert for when a thread is posted in.

    The problem I've encountered is when I create or post in a thread I automatically Watch Thread, which somehow seems to clash with my ticking Watch Forum. The fix I've come up with is to manually Unwatch Thread every time I post something--that way I still get alerts via the Watch Forum function. ;)

    Yeah,I think after a time,it stops to work =/
    To check if there is a new reply/thread,I go on my profile,I click on Social Forums,and check the last post.

    I really don't know why people set it to watch stuff by default... I only ever want to watch a few very select threads.

    And by select threads, surely you mean only the ones I post in? :p

    "Watch forum" not working, at least to me. In already created threads in watched forum (my clan group), at least. Zero notifications from that :(

    It only seems to work if you do as FBB described.

    Is there anyone working on fixing this/is it fixable/whatever? It's a huge pain in the ass. Also, is there any way to switch auto watching threads you reply to "off"?

    From what I've found, if you don't actually visit the thread that you're watching when you get an alert, the alerts stop. But then if you check the thread again after it stops, the alerts start back up again.
    For example, I'm watching the Question thread (I wanna be helpful lel), I never actually visited the thread for a while and I stopped getting alerts.
    I thought the questions thread was dead, but when I went to check on it, like 30 messages had been posted. I thought the watch thread feature was broken, but the next day I started getting alerts again. Strange it behaves this way.
