Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

On my phone, there are three little bars on the top left next to the little "home" icon. Click those bars and get a drop-down menu. Select "Forums" and then under Watched, click Watched Threads. Not sure where it would be on a tablet or computer, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Good luck!

Thank you for this. I usually check on my phone so this is perfect.

I keep forgetting people follow the forum on a phone. I've done that when I didn't have my computer and find it a serious PITA especially if I want to post. I can type with 8 fingers and 2 thumbs on the computer keyboard.

"Watched" is in the same place on a computer but "Forums" is right at the top left of every page so you don't need to find it under the 3 bars like on a phone.

I only find it a PITA when my internet is slow because it doesnt want to load quotes in the reply and then I have to wait or else I end up with part of my response above the quote. I usually just type with my right thumb and support the phone with my left hand and let autocorrect do its thing. Occassionally I end up with gobbilty gook so I always try to proofread before I post.

I don't see well, so the phone works best for me as I can hold it close to my face. Also it goes with me all over the house, so I don't have to sit in one spot like using the computer or laptop.

If you stop getting alerts it's prob you didn't click on one. I have a couple threads I don't get on often Jersey Giant's, and Naked Neck threads. If I don't click their alerts they don't come up again. What you do is click on the 'bell' alerts and down at the bottom has
show all . mark read. preferences .
Click mark read, it will pop up "all alerts marked as read" and you will get all alerts for your watched threads again, even one's you forgot you were on.

Edit: also, if instead of going to alerts (maybe cause not getting them?) and go to watched threads but don't read till end, don't make it to last page, you will not get new alerts either. If you just skip to end will get new alerts.

If you just skip to end

And miss all the earth shatteringly important posts??

My daughter in law just tested positive for Covid. Weird thing is, she tested negative three times at a place that tested her and my son with the three different tests on the same day. He was positive. So, thinking she got it when he did two weeks ago.. they both got pretty sick and thought for sure she would test positive. Who knows. She had to go back today before going back into work/office. Good thing her job is partly at home. She has been working on her computer here at home. She feels fine except yesterday she says, I don't know why I'm sneezing so much. Oh dear. I've been around both of them. I did go get tested last week, it was negative. I'm not too worried about getting it, knock on wood.

Everybody's covid positive has been different, some things the same or similar. I really didn't get any cold like symptoms except the one day, think it was maybe third day I knew I had it was sneezing all day and not like a cold sneeze more like a going outside seeing the sun type sneeze if anyone else ever has that happen. Just a bang sneeze no reason no tickle warning no nasal congestion or anything. All day long.
