    When did the Watched Threads list change from unread to last 30?

    IMO, this is not an improvement.

    It's not a setting that can be directly changed. It defaults to the "30 most recently updated threads" (if there's 30). You can then click "Show all watched threads" to view everything.

    I did increase the number of days to maintain read marking data (such as for threads and forums) from 30 to 365. Not sure if this had an impact, but it improves being able to jump to new posts in threads that are older than 30 days.

    OK, I did not describe the problem correctly, since I only looked at the first page, and the first page was filled with threads that I knew did not have new posts.

    The issue is worse... all of a sudden, every thread I had marked as "following" for the last year (from May 3, 2020), showed up on my watched threads list as having new posts. Every one.

    Some kind of weird glitch?

    Is there some way to get rid of this without going to each and every thread and unfollowing?

    Seriously, if someone could clear out the 200+ old threads flagged as watched with unread posts I would very much appreciate it.
