I use the 'Show new replies to your posts' a lot. It's a very useful function. However, I was wondering if there was a way to stop following threads in there (Sometimes I make a post, but don't really care to continue the conversation. Usually poll-type topics). Likewise, is it possible to add threads that you didn't post in to that as well to make it easier to follow them? Sometimes I find interesting threads but don't want to post in them. (For instance, the MekHQ ones. I would love to follow them easily, but I feel bad having to post in the thread just to have it show up in the 'new replies' function)
I tried the 'watch' function, but that just sends an email when new posts show up.
I know one message board I frequent has the option to show 'viewed' posts as opposed to just ones you posted in.
