User Watches Feature

If you want to be notified (by e-mail) when something is edited or when new articles or forum topics are added, you can create a 'watch'.

A watch for new articles can be turned on and off in a user's My Account's User Watches page.

The user can click the click the little eye that appears toward the top of many pages.

A Watch for a web page sends you the new page when it is edited, and any new comment when they are added to the page, and replies to those comments.
A Watch for a Forum tells you about new Topics. It does not notify you of replies.
A Watch on a Forum Topic sends you any future replies posted to that Topic. It does not notify you of new Topics or replies to the new Topics.

To turn off a watch, a user can either:

click on the open eye, which then closes, or
go to My Account's User Watches page and delete any or all of your watches.
