When will it be next week?

I can't figure out why these QOTW discussions keep showing up at at Special:NewMessages for me.

I have tried every way I can think of to unwatch all LiquidThreads discussions, and they keep showing up. How do I unwatch them? A single "unwatch" button to nuke them all would be nice.

Hmmmm... that's a very good question and one that I don't know the answer to. I'm going to point Werdna to this discussion. :)

Thanks. It looks like my reply put this particular discussion on Special:NewMessages. I always click the "mark all as read" link to bail out for awhile. But many discussions keep coming back. I will unwatch this discussion too. So I may not see other messages to me here.

The LiquidThreads Special:NewMessages format is so confusing that I normally avoid LiquidThreads if at all possible.

It would be much more intuitive if LiquidThreads discussions were watchlisted the normal way.

I'm sorry to hear that you don't like the format of Special:NewMessages.

There isn't presently a way to disable the functionality of Special:NewMessages — you are, of course, free to ignore it entirely. Do let me know if there's something about Special:NewMessages that is difficult to ignore, and I can probably resolve it.

Is there a way to designate a particular thread and say "don't tell me about new messages to this thread again"? For instance, if I'm watching threads relating to the 2008 election, and I no longer care about it?

I guess the way to do that is to unwatch it. There's a link for that at the top-right of the thread.
