Watchlist Is Here! As Well As Related Pulse Upgrade

Thanks Martin….this will be a great addition to the site..at least for me…is it a big deal to add all comments on the dropdown for the time period. the reason I ask is because with the roll the dice option one might get comments from something posted a long time ago. let me know your thoughts..
Happy holidays to you and yours…

Martin,

Thanks again for the improvement and the continued upgrades of the site. Your additions/changes are always well thought out and keep the site fresh.

Merry Christmas to you and your new wife!

Martin, Nice job. Hope you and your beautiful new bride have a wonderful 1st Christmas together. By the way, is there an easy way to look up or sort the LJ roster (members)?

Looks good, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I bet you are thankful for the holidays so you have time to stop your head from spinning! This must have been a LOT of work and a lot of brain power.

Thank you Martin.

Curiously I haven’t been able to see recent threads I’ve post in while looking through the list. I don’t know what’s up.

Martin,

This is great work! I like the views that you setup.

Thanks!

Martin, i am getting an email notification for every post on this blog. Is this something I did? How do I undo this?

Thanks.

Thanks Martin, Something I wanted.

Merry Christmas and happy New year.

Thanks Martin; that’s going to be really useful. You said : ”Note that all of your previous posts were automatically added to your Watchlist during this upgrade”

Have I misunderstood? There’s nothing in my ‘My watchlist” folder.

is the “all previous posts” all of our own blogs/projects that have new comments? I think that is it.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I miss the ability to sort by buddy in the pulse. can you put that feature back ?

I commented on a posting. Now I am getting an e-mail on every other comment on the same post. Is there a way to stop this?

I have started to check the “just post my comment” option to avoid this. I am afraid I like the old way better.

Martin, this change looks very promising. Many thanks.

First change based on your great feedback – “Add to watchlist” is not a default option when you’re posting a new comment. This way the post will not be added to your watchlist accidentally if you just want to add a short comment and are not interested in following that post in the future.

I will also add a “stop watching link” to all emails so it will be easier to unsubscribe from any post.

Splinters: “one might get comments from something posted a long time ago” – if this happens and you’re watching that project it will be automatically brought to the top of your list because it has became active again so it will fall even into the “active in last 24 hours” category.

Another thing I noted is that I should it make it clear that in case “my watchlist” page is active and empty it doesn’t mean that you have no posts in the watchlist – it just means that there are no new comments on your watched posts… I will add this asap.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours , Martin : )

Only one minor thing I don’t like – when working my way through “all activity”, posts I’ve read no longer seem to show as being read (“no new posts in the last x hours”).

The new format is going to take a bit of getting used to. For the most part I really like it with one exception, when I read a topic, it no longer appears as ‘read’ in the Pulse list. I have been known to go back and read a topic more than once even though there may not be new comments. Is there a way to find these posts without adding them to a watchlist? Some items require a couple readings to digest. Beyond that, I like it.

I like the old way better too ! Request changing it back.

i like the idea of being aware of comments made after I’ve commented on a thread – a very handy way to not miss an answer to a question. I also like being able to turn it off later on… I like the notification follow up on facebook, glad to have it here too. Very nice update.

The pulse appears to erase a line item after it is read.
can this be repaired?
also I miss the ability to sort the line items in pulse by buddy etc etc , ...can this portion of the change be returned to the way it was before ?

the watch list idea is good.

Merry Christmas to you, and your new wife, Martin!

I agree with Dan, I miss the ability to sort the line items in pulse by buddy etc.

Well it’s been a day and at first, when I started working on the eMag, I have to say that I went into a panic, as my routine had been completely shaken up. But it didn’t take long for a new routine to develop and I’m liking it.

• Postings by buddies arrive in my email so I don’t miss anything.
• I can choose to have the watchlist on or off for any item (I like that). It’s going to save me lots of time!!

It’s funny how we go into automatic and change throws us off balance for a while. I think I’ve adapted and it’s only been one day!!! :)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Seems to me the old way took care of everything this does without the extra step of remembering to click on the watch box. I sometimes like to see comments to other peoples comments besides my own. If i don’t “watch” it….whats to remind me if a subject picks up steam with discussion? Maybe this will all come to me when i get fully awake this morning!

And shouldn’t all activity include all activity????? And my forgetting to click the watch button after my previous post made it very awkward to hunt down this blog post again.

Thanks Martin, I really appreciate how much you put into the continuous growth and improvement of Lumberjocks and I love the watchlist feature – been hoping for that one to come along. ;-)

I really like the watchlist, and I’ve been looking forward to that function! Except the items I’m watching disappear from pulse until there is a new comment, then disappear again once I’ve seen the new comment. Sometimes I want to re-read a post for the information, or take awhile to consider a response. But if I watch with the intent of returning later, I can’t find the post again until there is a new comment. Couldn’t it still show up in pulse in the “All” category?

Also, would it be possible to incorporate a “don’t show again”? Kind of the opposite of “watch”? Sometimes there is a vague but interesting title to a conversation that I don’t really care to follow, but I keep going there again and again, because I don’t remember that the title goes with that conversation. I don’t know if it would be a completely different function, or could just be a little add-on to the watch function.

Not sure if something has changed but my watchlist if finally working like I would expect. I see every thread that I am watching and it stays viewable untill i unwatch it. I very nice feature. Thank you for adding it.

I see the “all items” and the “new only” buttons to further filter the lists … and I like it! Thanks Martin!

much better … it is FUN AGAIN !!
