What is Thread Watch?
Since you have to go to the Forums to find out whether there are replies to your own posts or to others threads
you are keeping an eye on, we thought it would be useful to have an e-mail facility that let's you know when a reply
has been made to a selected thread to save continually visiting the forums.
If you want to receive notification of a reply, just select the small binocular icon to the right of the title within any Thread view
[you'll only see the icon if you have Donated to support Jag-lovers] - assuming you have NOT already got a watch on that thread, it'll be black and grey in color:
 indicating no watch.
The page will refresh and the icon then looks like this:
 indicating an active watch.
Whenever you go to that thread and you have the watch ON, you'll see the yellow icon. If you select the yellow icon again, it'll
revert to grey and you'll have turned the watch off.
What does the email look like?
Here's an example of the e-mail you'll get - it may change over time so don't be surprised if it's a little different to that shown here!

The links are hopefully self explanatory (those shown are examples and won't work here) -
your e-mail client will probably make them selectable. Use the last link to remove all watches on ALL threads -
selecting it will return you to the Forum Homepage after deleting all watches.
What happens if I forget to turn a Watch off?
Each Watch automatically expires 7 days after you add it assuming you haven't deleted it in the meantime.
