I'm sick of threads constantly being bumped, opening them and seeing "My threads for laterz" we need a "watch this thread" button so this will stop

Can we also get thumbs up so I can say  "Smail likes this?"

The button could just say "My Threads" on it too, which would also help tidy up your "My Threads" folder!  Think about the convenience of not having to delete all the stupid ones you didn't want to end up in there when you went on a drunken post whore rampage.

if it just said smail and Style+eeze like this, and everyone else liked it, then it would get way too long.

if it just said like "13 people like this thread" and you could click on it and see who they were.

but, i like all the ideas in this thread!

Yea, that way people wouldn't be posting a ton of "my threads" or "mah threadz" or "sdaeht ym" and it would make finding the threads that I decided should be "My threads" a lot easier.

Also it would be great if it did not ask me every time I deleted a thread watch if i really wanted too.

Im not sure what you are proposing, but i think "my threads" does a pretty good job and if you dont want to post in the thread then you can just pm the thread url to yourself.

but if there was a button it would be like you posted "my threads" and it would update when people post in it

Or you could just reply to a thread saying "my threads" like everyone else does.

but thats annoying because how many times do you open an updated thread in your list only to see "my threads" it gets old real fast

This feature would save you the about 2 seconds. I think it is really unnecessary.

how do you feel when you open a thread like "post mashups" or "new jiberish" only to see "my threads" as the last post, it's annoying

Judging by some of the recent threads in site discussion, there have been some people hanging around Pinkbike. Some of the forum setup ideas on there are good indeed.

instead of a like button how about a like or dislike, thumbs up or thumbs down, = or - button so after reading you can click and rate good or bad then threads can be given ratings

adding threads to a watch list is a good idea. I only ask that check boxes should be put on the my threads page so yuo ncan do bulk actions , ie delete multiple threads from your my threads at a time
