Has anyone else been having trouble with the watch/unwatch button...... I have several under watch and periodically, they do not show up on the little alert bell. Maybe am I doing something wrong? Thanks,,, Ken

Hello Ken, I've seen such behavior if not using the forum for some time. The resolution is rather simple, 'unwatch' and then 'watch' again. 
Hi,try to make some comments time to time on your watched threads than you will get bell notifications on new updates.Hello Ken, I've seen such behavior if not using the forum for some time. The resolution is rather simple, 'unwatch' and then 'watch' again.
Hi @ken s, I'm almost sure I have experienced the same several times (and @Jimsky my friend, I'm visiting SoS at least 1 time every day ) I cannot with certainty exclude the posibility that I somehow have overlooked these alerts though.
Anyway, it is no big deal. Once in a while I just visit this page https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/watched/threads and if any thread in this 'view' is bold it means I have missed something.

maybe this is something that needs to be looked into. Zoltan is usually my goto guy on some forum operations like this. To me, if a person subscribes to a "watched thread" and then if a person that is the author of the thread and there is NO activity on the thread, then there would not be a notice then out. Then when someone makes a comment, then the watched notif would go out. I am not sure as I have to do more research on this function. Sorry.
Just in case you would like a solid example: I'm watchin Alex's build log of hms enterprise,
Both Alex and Jimsky have posted in this thread today and yet I haven't got any alerts.
But let me underline once again that it is no big deal to me. I don't get blue toe nails or choked on the strawberry porridge over this.
Build Log: CAF models' HMS Enterprise 1:48
I'm using a small laser to find center and line up my deck planks....The image below shows the laser off the centerline going aft...I re-positioned the center planks until they all lined up straight.
