What does watch option do.
-
i really apologise if 1.if this is not the appropriate forum to ask my doubt regarding the CP forums usage. 2.if the doubt which iam going to ask is a self explanatory one. i find a link called "watch" beside "book mark". i tried but iam unable to find where a particular post is watched. i guess, that option enables us to keep watching a thread for updates and give automatic online alerts if they are answered, i mean without refreshing the page manually. if my guess is wrong, then please letme know if there is any such feature. and also the advantage of watch. thanks all in advance.

I don't know. Isn't there a tooltip that sheds some light? :)

No - this is a good question and one which we need to clarify. Adding a 'watch' means you bookmark and item and at the same time add it to your Watched items in your My CodeProject[^] page. We'll also be expanding this so watched items appear in alerts in other places.

but.. still, for me it is not self explanatory. for example, if i select watch for the first post in Algorithms, in "MyCodeProject" section, it is showing up first five posts in that Algorithms forum. and now, if i delete the fifth post, then i observed "Messages on your Watched Forums" link takes me to list.aspx. i hope this feature is under construction.
