Forum features question

I noticed today when I post in a thread it auto watches the thread for me. But there is also the subscribe to thread feature which is not the same thing as this. And you can't as far as I can tell be auto subscribed to a thread as a result of posting in it. The question I have is how do I view a list of the threads I'm watching? This is not the same thing as subscriptions which are seen by clicking on the "My Subscriptions" link. I can't find a link or anything anywhere that takes me to a stuff I'm watching list. Yet we can click a link at the bottom of every thread to watch or unwatch respectively depending on the current watch or unwatch status of that thread.


It's a bit of a kludge, but either of these works:
- Go back into the thread, and click on your user name next to your post. You'll go to your public profile view, from where you can see the list of threads you've posted in.
- Alternatively click on 'My Profile', which will go to your private/edit profile view. In the URL, change "/edit/" to "/profile/", to go the same screen as above.

Like I said, kludgy, every other forum I'm on automatically subs you to threads you post in, this form... eh, it's EA, what do you expect?
  • That's not exactly what I was expecting to find. A list of my posts is different than a list of threads I'm "watching". In essence I was expecting this "watch this topic" to add the thread to a list I can reference to see what has new replies to read since last I checked. Or something similar to that since the forum also has a subscribe feature. But recently I have been having problems with the subscription feature. Having noticed the watch feature at the bottom there when I couldn't get the forum to subscribe to a thread it had me wondering and still does since the my posts list appears to be unrelated to the watch this topic thing.
