Does Watching a Forum Do Anything?
TappedOut forum

On the bottom right side of the following image is the little "Watched Forums" bar. It is on the settings page for every user.
Now I'm just wondering if this is supposed to actually do anything? I don't get notifications if there is a new thread made in the forum or anything.
yeah actually it does it lets you read the words that come up

Well, due to the explanation underneath, Im going to venture out and say it puts a list with threads in that forum on your front page.

After enabling it, it actually replaces the latest forum activity feed with a latest activity feed of the selected forums.

Huh, I guess that is worth it. I was hoping for something along the lines of me getting a notification whenever someone makes a new thread there.

Have an option to turn it on and off then while still having the front page thing working? I like it for the T/O forum because there aren't a lot of people who make a new thread there.

Isn't it possible to discover to a forum to achieve the same effect?
Or was that a dream?

Discover ... heh, Discovery Channel is what came across my mind. Now I want to listen to Boom De Ya Da.

DO IT LIKE THE ANIMALS ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL.
THAT'S AN ORDER.
