XenForo 1.2 adds another commonly requested feature: the ability to watch a forum. The forum watching system works rather similarly to the thread watching system, just on all content within a forum. When you click the link to watch a forum, you'll see an overlay like this: Notification-less watching options may be expanded in the future (such as with indications on the new threads list). Notifications work identically to thread watching notifications: you'll only receive one about a thread until you view it on the forum. Like threads, you can manage your watched forums in bulk via a dedicated page. This can also be used to simply filter only to forums you're interested in. Administrators can also limit the type of notifications that can be triggered when watching a forum: This can be useful to reduce the number of notifications that will be triggered on particularly busy forums.
