Be able to search the threads you've watched

[AryabhattZero]

Because I'm lazy as fuck and like to procrastinate, I watch the threads I think are worth a read.

Over the years I ended up having a plethora of watched threads (I know I can bookmark them but watching them instead is a bit more organised way since they are saved within BHW) and it is hard to a particular one. Because they are sorted in a way that the latest bumped one comes first, it makes it even more difficult.

All I ask is to be able to search only your "watched threads". I don't know how many other people do this but I guess it will help. Thank you.

Mod mention @Zwielicht and a bump

I second this.

Ikfr I have 33 pages. I'll probably code something if this doesn't get added anyways.

Seems like a good idea in theory, it would be good to expand the search facility in general to be able to select from more locations - such as watched threads and also your own private messages.

The other option for you in the short term is like you mentioned - bookmarking the threads instead of watching them. You could go through all of your watched threads and open the ones you still need, then add those to bookmarks in their own folder and/or sub-folders. Then open all the threads you still want to watch (in terms of receiving post notifications), then select the option to remove all watched threads (To tidy things up), then just add back in the ones you actually want to watch (and receive notifications for).

Yep. But if what I suggested gets implemented, it will be a life saver.

Sorry it's taken so long to get an official response on this. We've discussed this in-house and it's something we think could be really useful. We're going to look into it a bit more, and hopefully have something in place for BHW 2.0, if not before.
