Watched Threads being dropped from list?

Just that. Every single time I've ever used the 'watch thread' option it works for around a week and then quits for no known reason. I should be watching the SWC Wes Janson Thread, the RPF Shadow Wars thread. It's a bit frustrating when I try to keep up with things by having external cues and am not able to. If y'all could fix this that would be most appreciated.

 

I've not been having this issue with my own watched threads - are they still showing up in your listing?

 

As far as when I check out the forum? Yes. But no alerts to new posts. ... Has been happening since I first started using them. See, it works for a bit then stops for no known reason.

 

Is it consistent across all threads? I'm wondering if it's a pre-move thread thing.

 

Yes it is. The SWC Wes Janson thread was made by me on this set of boards, too...

 

Regular board alerts only, no email. It makes no sense, but I'll get a few per watched thread from the time I click 'watch' through a few more, say, three or four?

Every time I go to the thread it says I'm still watching it but I receive no alerts.

I've only watch a total of three at any given time. Going to the 'unread threads watched threads list' does not change that. The threads don't exist there either.

 

Do you regularly clear cookies from your PC? Maybe that's a factor.

 

No I do not. I'll try it.

 

You could try clearing just the ones for 'boards.theforce.net'.

 

You might also have to reply in them once in a while to continue watching them.

 

I just cleared all cookies from my computer.

I did click to automatically watch the thread I created (if I remember correctly) but it did nothing. The 'replies to a watched thread' has always been there for all of them. I just checked again and it's still been chosen.

I haven't posted in several in ages simply because I never get alerts. >.>

 

It seems to me that if you don't click on the alert and go to the thread and/or you don't reply in the thread, it drops off your alerts. If you click on the alert to go to the thread or reply to the thread, it will continue to give you alerts.

I have no idea if this applies to threads you've just clicked 'watch thread' and not replied to.

 

For the duration of the time where the alerts were working I would be visiting on a regular basis. But without that cue I forget about them, sort of an 'out of sight out of mind' thing.

 

But were you clicking on the alert or were you just going to the thread? If you were just looking at your alerts by hovering over it and then clicking on the thread from the thread list and not actually on the alert itself, it would drop off.

 

I'd click the alert. Fastest way to get there. Annnd I just received an alert from a thread that is a few months old...
