Help
i noticed that there's a part of the screen (mid right) in the forums main site, where it says :
"forums watched, and "you are not watching any forums".
what does it mean ?
i can't read it if i am in a forum, and it won't chance if a particular forum is on another tab ...

Are you logged in when you see this notice?
I see that there's a "watch this topic" button next to the reply button in my top right corner of the thread.
Clicking it takes me to a subscription thread, so my guess is that watched or not watched indicates whether you are subscribed to a subject. I don't really think anyone uses these functions at all, but they are meant to be useful if you have a forum or thread you are specifically interested. On a small forum like this one I don't see the point, you can just use the "View New Content" function instead, but I'm guessing on bigger forums with a lot more traffic it can be useful to have easy access to something that might be hard keeping track off.

It's pretty useful actually. You can follow individual threads or entire sub-forums, and chose what sort of notifications you can get for them. Handy if you're waiting for replies or comments in a specific thread

The forum does this automatically as far as I know. At least it does if you use the View New Content function (which is normally the only thing I use).
When you click the thread, the page will take you to the last post submitted after you left the thread.

It will take you back to the first new post, yes. If you just didn't finish reading the page though, it won't detect that.
