New Feature: Watchlists

You’ll notice a new box on the left hand side of the page entitled “Watchlist”. If you visit any of the comments pages, you’ll also see a small box on them which allows you to add a comment thread to your watchlist. Doing this will place it into the Watchlist box. Whenever a comment is added to any thread you are watching, the thread will be flagged for you. If you have nothing on your watchlist, the watchlist box defaults to showing the five most voluminous threads which have been posted to in the last month. The whole idea of this is to give people easy access to active threads, even after they’ve been bumped way down the page by newer posts, or want to know when a question they’ve posted on specific thread is potentially answered. If it doesn’t work properly (it needs cookies enabled), let me know.

Whoops – it should be there now.

Doesn’t appear to work for quicklinks.

(Picky picky picky…)

Hehe was too lazy to implement it at the time because quicklinks are handled somewhat differently. Should be working for quicklinks too now (and technically any other sections of the site which track commenting, although I haven’t enabled it for articles and features yet).
