Thread:If watching this page/thread, do you get notifications where applicable? (by e-mail) (23)

Thanks Jim - I now see that changing the watch status of the 'discussion page header' has the same effect as changing the watch status of the "parent" page (and vice-versa).

So, watching the page will result in notifications for all threads (watched or not). That's a feature, not a bug, fine by me :-). It saves having to specify which threads to watch (I usually want to watch all of them if I am watching a page).

If one wants to watch only specific threads on a discussion page (not all of them), then don't watch the page itself.
