That's helpful but best would be to hide the read threads and only show unread like the old forums if that's possible. This is regarding the watched threads section not the whole forums.

View Threads with Unread Posts after Upgrade?
- Thread starter Dave EV
- Start date
You can already do this as danny hinted at earlier: View Threads with Unread Posts after Upgrade?
The main problem is that you can't do the following easily without clearing or resetting filters:
1. View all threads with unread posts.
2. View watched threads with unread posts.
3. View watched forums with unread posts.
My typical flow with the previous forum was this depending on how much time I had to read:
1. Click on email notifications for new posts to threads I'm watching.
2. Click on "watched threads w/unread posts" link to make sure I didn't miss any posts.
3. Click on "watched forums w/unread posts" link to make sure I didn't miss any posts.
4. Click on "unread posts" to look for any interesting active threads.

Thanks, that works. I thought it would show all individual unread posts in a watched thread not just single unread watched threads. Not quite as convenient as the old way that had a dedicated Unread Watched Threads button. I guess I can create a bookmark to do the same.
Concur w all comments above. And now I’m watching this thread, and will use the current available methods to track new posts, lol. Appreciate that this is being looked into/improved by the administrators.

Nope, that doesn't work, it only bookmarks whatever threads are unread at that moment in time.
Yep. I can confirm that if using Dark Mode, the bold feature is absolutely useless.
I do not know the capabilities of this new software, but another alternative would be a simple line/separation marker below unread threads with headings, such as "Watched threads with new posts" and "Remaining Watched threads" (or whatever). That would also solve our goal.

Haha yeah it's just the red dot. The text boldness was not changed.
Solution for Unread Posts (Watched Forums) coming soon.

I hope you also are still considering adding "Unread Watched Threads" (like we used to have)??
My desktop browser workaround is good for the mean time, but native would be so much better, especially for mobile. Thanks.
Yeah, I think we will do that as well. The idea is to add a "Watched Threads" option to the filter dropdown. Therefore, you can see "New Posts" and apply "Unread" and "Watched Threads" as you like, and then save whichever combination you like most as your "Default. Then we would develop another feed called "New Threads", and of course you would be able to filter that feed for "Unread". I don't think "Watched Threads" filter makes sense for the "New Threads" feed, as how is it helpful to know that you watched a new thread? Once a thread is watched, you don't care about how new the thread is, you care about whether it has new posts, which is covered by the "New Posts" with "Unread" and "Watched Threads" turned on. Am I missing something?

FWIW my TMC bookmarks are:
- watched threads, which may in any forum including forums I don't have watched ("watched/threads")
- watched forums, which may overlap with watched threads (now using "whats-new/posts" with saved filters on unread and watched)
No, the "Watched Threads" feed available here https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/watched/threads would remain untouched. What I was talking about was applying a watched thread filter to the "New Posts" feed. Currently there is a filter called "Watched Content", but that filter combines both "Watched Threads" and threads from "Watched Forums", but what most users are interested in is a "New Posts" that can be filtered for "Unread" and "Watched Threads".

I've been using the Tampermonkey script since you first created it but just found I've been missing out on lots of posts since they were on subsequent pages. Doh!I've updated my Tampermonkey script to hide all read threads in the "Watched Threads" view.
You can install it from here once you have the Tampermonkey browser extension installed:
About | TMC hide read threads and always go to Last Unread Post | Userscripts | OpenUserJS
For the latest TMC Update 2021, hides all "read" threads in the Watched Threads view. Opens all threads in a new tab. Also for any thread over 30 days old, clicking the thread title link reverts to the first post in the thread instead of 'last unread post'. But we never know which threads...openuserjs.org
This helps the situation only on the desktop browser, but the lack of "Watched Unread Threads" is still a problem on mobile (my primary access method).
Can't wait for the return of true "unread" functionality like we used to have on desktop and mobile. I tried the filter option mentioned earlier but it still shows read threads after I read them.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure I mentioned that quirk when I first posted the script.
Maybe! I do appreciate it and use it on desktop every day. I don't really use the site on mobile anymore since the upgrade. I thought I was keeping up with new posts but I went to page 2 today and found a few...then a few more on pages 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
It was so effortless before as the "new watched threads" link functionality only showed what I still needed to read...and not 250+ pages of threads that I've already read.
Almost there. We are essentially separating out the "Watched content" into two separate filters: "Watched threads" and "Watched forums content". So you'll be able to pick one or both of them for your New Posts filter.
