Watched Threads

[Wyorp Rock]

Anytime I post to a thread it goes to "watched" or sometimes I "watch" it myself. I like to periodically go through and "unwatch" or manage those threads.

Can a "select all" be added so we don't have to click on each individual thread to select it for unwatching? There are 50 per page and that's a lot of clicking

Thanks!

I THINK if you go to your Preferences and uncheck "Automatically watch threads...", its the first one on the list, this might stop the alerts to threads you have posted on?

That would stop all alerts, but I don't think it would delete watched threads. What I want to do is bulk remove/delete many pages of watched threads. Sort of like in emails, you can "select all" on a page, then if you want to save something, uncheck it.

I don't know if I'm 'planing it right I'm not too tekno savvy

I think and I use this term loosely You can do it like this but I’m not totally sure it will delete the list


> Watched threads.
> “Show all watched threads” at the bottom of the list.

> Manage watched threads.
> Stop watching threads.

> Save changes.

Yes, I see that, but what I want to do is be able to select a whole page or select all on a page instead of clicking in each individual box - I can select each individual one (click a box) and then stop watching, but not a whole page.

Try selecting the ones you want to stop watching, then scroll to the bottom and try this:

Disclaimer: I have not tried this, so I don't know if it will stop watching all threads or just the ones selected.

That does work, but you have to select each box by every thread, then tell it to unwatch. There are 50 on each page, so I'm lazy and don't want to have to click each box - so was wondering if a "select all" could be added for the pages

I just tested Yorkshire Coop's method and it will unwatch *all* threads.
