Ok there was a bug in the threadWatch system which Jackson04 inadvertantly found out. That was if a thread had an update, then it was deleted it will appear as if you permanently have 1tW when really you don't

So if anybody is experiencing a similar problem please post here and I will correct it. The bug is now fixed and as such this thread will be closed in a few days, once anyones problems have been corrected..

oh and damn jackson, i watch like 9 threads, you watch 200+ holy crap :o

the trouble is I watch almost every thread I reply to, and then they're closed. There should really be an option to trim threadwatches.

I think their should be a 'Clean TW' link on the threadwatch page that checks all your thread watches and removes ones that are closed when you click the link.

I dont think threadwatches should be removed when a topics closed, cos their might be a few posts at the end you wanna see.

If the thread is closed (and there are no updates since your last post), or the thread has had no replies for 2 months (from anyones post, even your own), then trim it I think.

Truth be told, I've never watched a single thread before. I don't know exactly what happens or why it works. Strange, maybe someday I'll feel the need to watch a thread. I think I will quite soon...

Ok, it deletes any threads which have not been replied to in over 2 weeks... i reckon it should be shortned to even a week but i guess 2 weeks will suffice :D

that works... could there be a save feature, so if there are threads that we want to keep track of, but wont get replied to, they can avoid deletion?
