Watched Threads: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/watched/threads

• Unless someone replies to you or tags you in a thread, you won't receive and alert just because you participated in it. You must select "Watch Thread" when viewing it. You may also opt to "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..." from your Account Preferences.
