Just noticed the Watched counter! Awesome! Always wanted this.

Great addition.

Thank you.
 
Oh so it is new, aha! I just noticed it and wondered why I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for adding it!

I had a "3" on mine. I managed to find two of them. After scrolling through 40 of 97 pages to find the last one I decided to turn it off. Now I don't know what I'm being notified of, if anything.

I believe unread states are only saved for 30 days. So it should self resolve if you can't find it.
 
I'm on mobile and I don't see it.

Edit: Found it, you have to slide the menu bar items sideways to see it.
 
May be late to the game ... but I just noticed the Mark Forums Read button.

This is just about as perfect as it gets!

Thanks again!

Loving the continued redesign - makes a lot more sense to me.

I added Filtering options in Watched threads. So you can filter to 'Unread' only.
Filtering for Watched threads is definitely useful. Thank you.

Any chance of being able to add an option to "Mark read" for selected Watched threads? There's definitely the individual link by each thread to do that, but wondering if it might be possible to do it on a larger scale if there are quite a few that are unread and you just want to sort of "catch up" quickly (and clear out the unread counter).
 
that change isn't quite as easy but I can look into it

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure how simple something like that might be. Thanks again for all the adjustments and improvements.

Just wanted to follow up to see if there have been new developments or perhaps some workarounds/alternatives that might be available when it comes to some way to sort of "catch up" on unread watches threads to clear out the counter (for example in situations where there might be quite a few perhaps slightly older unread watches threads and going one by one isn't the most practical way of doing it).
