	.....I just looked at my 'watched' threads and found threads in there for which I didn't request a watch, and to which I have never contributed!!!!!!! Please sort this out, GR.

	I notice I have 3 threads in "My Watched Threads". I have never requested they be placed there. To tell you the truth I don't even know how to do it.

	Well, I have never clicked on "Watch this", didn't even know it was there so why do I have 3 threads in "My watched Threads"?

	I thought it could happen when I have run the cursor over the "watch this" as I am using a touch pad? or again it maybe one of these strange things that are happening like my tree opening....when I never look at it.. or directed to "Help Clinic" for no reason ect jax

	Now that's interesting Flick. I haven't looked at my Watched Threads for ages and find I have 5 pages of them, dating back to 2008 which is three years before Watched Threads was introduced...... :-S :-S :-S I am sure I have seen somewhere on this board, that WTs are not actually working properly or have been cancelled and I know I certainly don't received email alerts about them. I can only surmise that they are 'leftovers' from the old system where we had the option to keep an eye on threads we were interested in, even if we had not contributed to them. Many of mine seem to be threads which contained useful tips etc. which I must have considered may come in useful at some stage. Does that make sense....? :-S :-S Cx.

	It does rather look as though GR took the threads we had marked prior to the changes and added them into our WT box doesn't it? Although, it's odd if Sylvia hadn't marked some of hers.... :-S

	I've hardly ever marked any threads to Watch Threads. In fact, none at all until those 3 in 2010. The 3 that I know I marked were all my own, asking brick wall questions about ancestors and I marked them so I could quickly find them in the future. I've figured that any other threads that I might want to look at later are "tips" types, and would always be pretty close to the top. sylvia

	I´ve got a page & a half of them dating back to 2009. As far as I can remember I´ve never marked more than 3 or 4 threads.

	I have one in my Watched Threads where the last post was made on it on 26/1/2005. I did not join GR until 2008.
