in thread New Feature: Thread Watcher

One idea could be to have a search for "nodes you watch"

The "Find Nodes" Nodelet has "nodes you wrote", that's the same link like for the write-ups number in a user's profile.

One could parallel that in the Nodelet and in the profile.

Update: Though in that case these lists should be private like votes.

    I have added the link to the Find Nodes nodelet. Not sure where I'd put the link on the user's profile, though. In any case, it would just be a link to My Watched Nodes, which only ever shows you your own watches, never someone else's.

      For full analogy I'd say a clickable count between Writeups and Location

      Taking my profile as example:

      ...
Writeups:       12121
Watched:        1
Location:       Darmstadt, Hesse
...

      I'd also hide it from other users the same way private-scratchpad and pad-edit links are hidden. 

      if(  $NODE->{author_user} == $USER->{node_id}  ) {

      (Not sure about the last part, I am reading the code with my mobile ATM)

      • If you want, I could provide a patch this weekend
      • you may also want to add a backlink to this thread to My Watched Nodes, as a provisional documentation for newbies exploring the features here.

        Hrm. I don't think it belongs on the homenode, which is really meant to be publicly-visible information about the user. For user-private things, we have settings and so on.

        add a backlink to this thread to My Watched Nodes

        I added a sitedoc to My Watched Nodes, but it's pretty bare-bones — currently just a link, as you suggested. I hope someone in SiteDocClan will come along and make real documentation. The PerlMonks FAQ needs matter added.

        I also added a statement of count in My Watched Nodes.
