Start date Oct 18, 2020

In summary, the "watched threads" feature in "My PF" allows users to keep track of discussions and threads they are interested in. Threads can be added by clicking on the "Watch Thread" button and removed by clicking on the "Unwatch Thread" button. There is no limit to the number of threads that can be added, but it is recommended to only add actively participated in or interesting threads. Notifications for "watched threads" can be customized in account settings.

I suggest putting a link to a list of threads a user is watching in the pop-down menu for "My PF" - or is there already a link and I'm not seeing it?

In the top bar, click the watched threads link under the "Forums" menus.

Or just go to this link: https://www.physicsforums.com/watched/threads
