I’ve clicked everywhere in my menu up top, read the guides listed here in the pinned memo and tried using the search feature but I’m stuck!

where can I view my “Watched” threads and check up on them? I’m using an iPhone 11

thank you!

An alternate way to do it, and not sure how easy it would be to set it up from a phone is to click What's New, then go down to New Posts, then put in the filters "Show Only Unread" and "Show Only Watched" and save those as your preferences. This is the way I do it, then i can just go to What's New, then New Posts, and it will populate the list with only threads that I am watching that ALSO have new posts so I don't have to sift through all of the ones I have already read to find one I haven't read yet.

Nice, thank you!

Oh, one other slightly odd thing with doing it that way. When you want to refresh the list, you don't click the refresh button to refresh the page, that does nothing for some reason, at the top of the page on the left side is a button that says, "New Posts" you click that and it actually refreshes the list.

Only reason I can think it does that is this is the URL it gives me https://www.backyardchickens.com/whats-new/posts/833993/ and I assume that the report is run and is what the 833993 comes from, if you refresh the page it still looks for report 833993 rather than running the report again.

Apparently I was correct, ran it again and it gave me 83396, kind of odd, but not a problem if you expect it.
 
Once you find your 'watched threads' list, I save it as a bookmark/favorite then drag it to my fav bar in chrome browser, then it's always there
Yup, great point!

That's basically what I do, and I also set my filters to only show "unread" and "watched", so I see the stuff that's relevant to me :)
