    Dunno how others are "monitoring" the new forum, but I'm finding that:

    Start with Watched Threads
    I suppose it makes no difference whether you click on, read/reply, then click Watched Threads again, but I RightClick and choose Open-in-New-TAB on each one. By the time I have RightClicked the last one the first has usually finished loading in the first tab. I then click each tab, Read/Reply and then close the tab and move on to the next one.

    I did try RightClick and Open-in-New-Window on the Alerts pop-up-panel, but some threads were repeated (if multiple replies) so that didn't really work for me.

    When I'm done with Watched Threads I then do "What's New" which is basically only threads that I am not following, and new threads.

    If I don't reply to a thread, but I'm interested in it, I need to click "Watch Thread" so it appears in the Watched Threads window when someone replies.

    That only leaves me needing to keep an eye on INBOX to see if there is a little red (Number) tag on it, so that I spot if anyone has had a "Conversation" with me.

    That's it. Hope I've not made describing that too compelx to udnerstand.

    If anyone else has ways-of-working I'd be interested to hear them :blue thumb:

    I'm finding the new forum vastly faster and slicker than the old one for monitoring threads that I am interested in, Well Done to all the support team :)
