Ah, under the comment box. I think I'd prefer the default to be unticked, like the 'keep me in the loop' box on blogs. However I like having the option.

Is Lord Fetch aware? (I also find it annoying... suddenly I was watching 'word association' and was WTF?!) I can't imagine he did the auto-check box on purpose... reminds me of those deliberately confusing online forms 'untick the box if you want to be unsubscribed from our marketing crap'. |

That's a bit weird, I seem to have it on all threads today. I'm slight scared to comment elsewhere now, my Watch List is long enough already.

I've made the default 'unticked' now. In my head, I'd assumed that posting on a thread implied sufficient interest, but I can see now that it's not always the case. For reference, if you've ticked it, it's the same as 'watching', so you can click 'Stop Watching' on any threads that you don't want to be notified about. Sorry for pissing anyone off.
