The Student Room Group

how many "watched threads" do you have? And do you wish it were easier to unfollow?

I checked and I had like 70 today, and by the time I was done cleaning up only 8 remained (mostly blogs lol). It seems to take ages to delete them. I wish you could go down the list and tick all the ones you want to delete, then do it all in one go, rather than going through each individually (unless I'm missing something lol)

I have 3.
You can also unfollow a watched thread by clicking 'unwatch' immediately after posting a comment and will still receive notification of all replies to your comment.

there's a checkbox on the top right to tick them all and then you can uncheck the ones you want to keep
