Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions

Why is only one thing per page shown? This has caused me to miss many posts as they weren't shown. (Or are topics/posts not watched when the board is watched? Either way, many things that should have shown up on my watchlist haven't.)

Yeah, we're halfway through making a change to what watching a board means. In the last release a couple weeks ago, we changed what appears on watchlists to show the individual threads that you're subscribed to.

The second step is that watching a board will mean that you're automatically subscribed to all new threads created after you start watching the board. You'll still have the ability to unsubscribe from new threads that you don't care about. The watchlist and the Echo notifications will show the threads that you're subscribed to. We're working on this now, and we're planning to release it here by the end of next week.

The idea behind these changes is that we want you to be able to pay attention to the discussions that you care about, and filter out the ones that you don't. The system is probably going to need more fine-tuning, so definitely let us know how it's working for you.

DannyH (WMF): Right now its not working for me at all, but the future plan seems quite good!

Yeah, it should be (some version of) good soon. :)
