But before I can use it I have to wonder: The watch list starts out empty, right? Is there a way to mark all threads I've posted in as watched? This way I can start using the watchlist instead of "new replies", and add and remove from it as I see fit.
A list of all watched topics would also be good, but not critical.
Auto-watch
In case this is what you mean and you're unaware: When replying there's a "Watch this topic" checkbox in additional options, and it can be set to checked by default in the profile settings.
