    Go to your watched threads page https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/watched/threads then tick the checkbox on each thread you want to unwatch then select the appropriate action in the "managed watched threads" drop down. At the bottom you can even select all threads on the page so you can unwatch all threads on that page quicker.

    BTW: The check box is small and to the left if the replies and views counts.
    Thank you, I was checking boxes but couldn't figure out what to do after that lol.

    Before I do something I regret.....I only get 2 options under manage threads and when I click to unwatch, this comes up:
    Are you sure you want to stop watching all threads?
    I want to be sure I am only doing the ones I checked??????

    Look to see if you have them all checked instead of just the ones you want

    Rose, at the bottom of the page in the lower right corner you should see the following...

    Click on where it says 'With selected'

    Then select 'Stop watching' and click the Go button after you've selected the ones you no longer want to see.

    That will remove the ones you don't want and leave the rest.

    The top one Manage Watched Threads gives that message..
    The bottom one That says With Selected does not give that message.
    If you only have the ones checked you want to get rid of and are using the top one - you are good to go when you get that message

    Oh, I believe that "managed watched threads" does indeed apply to all watched threads, checked or not. You have to use the "with selected..." dropdown like SMT said. That's a bad place to put that dropdown. I can see someone deleting all their watched threads and getting really ticked off :lol:
    I just tested this - and yes, even tho I only had one checked, it killed them all !


    edit to add - Oh look Rose got dressed up !
    Looks very nice !

    I have a feeling it means to say "Are you sure you want to stop watching all CHECKED threads? " but I'm not willing to test that feeling. :greengrin:

    I'm pretty sure the options at the top of the page are for all Watched Threads. As in, bye-bye threads. :w00t:

    But this does have me curious. If someone, not me :lol:, were to select 'Stop watching threads' if we would then see that option replaced with something like 'Watch threads again'.

    Not gonna test it, nope.
