The draft thing is weird...I miss the alert of 'do you really want to leave this page?' when I miss/forget to hit the post button.

I would rather have the "draft" saved than be reminded about leaving the page..

I found the reminder thing would fail and ask me when it shouldn't a lot. It would be nice to have both, but I really really like this feature of keeping it..

Overall, I am finding the two version about equal. There are things I miss on the old one, and there are things I like on this one the old one did not have.

I am wondering is there a way to make a "favorites" list along with the watched list, but separate? ( I am sure that is clear as mud)...

There are some threads I want to go to often regardless if another person has posted or not since I lasted posted on it...

I can think of a few, the thread on "Toads". I being the OP and originator of the Toad breed, find I need to post there often to keep other informed, especially the newer Toad breeders... Or The Minnesota thread where we are mostly all friends that know each other in RL.....

Or the Mushroom thread where we post our "finds" from hunting shrooms for others to see.... They are not the kind of threads that need others posting between an individuals post...

I hope that made it less muddy...Thanks..

BTW @Nifty-Chicken and crew...Good job herding us stubborn old timers along the road to progress.......even if we balk at every turn,,,

Can anyone tell me how to upload a pic using the pic icon at the top of the page? I can do it uploading a file but was wondering if anyone else had issues with the pic icon.

What is this pic icon you speak of?

This?

Like Ralphie I need a way to sort watched threads or get rid of 80%, it's overwhelming.

Is there at least a way to mark them all read and start fresh??

this version allows us to un watch threads the other did not click
on watched threads boxes to check then un watch

Do they have to be 'unwatched' one by one?

Go to the watched thread list...then scroll to the bottom..and click on SHOW ALL. When you click the show all little boxes appear next to the title of each watched thread...click in the boxes to select the ones you want to remove from your list...then on the drop down list you can choose to STOP watching these threads.

The mountain icon is for loading pictures that are on the web. Read this: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/posting-pictures-using-the-mountain-icon.1174343/

I use the mountain icon daily and haven't had any issues with it.

yes they do as in check each box you do not want to watch anymore then delete all at once... alas did not read before post this as it had been answered

Did you get your list cleaned up?
I've been slowly working on cleaning mine up too.
