Sorry, but that's not helping. When I go through "Forums" then "Watched Forums" in the header as you're showing, it takes me to the same screen as when going through the steps in the personal profile area. That screen does not allow specifying a particular "watched forum" as you show...it's appears to be a blanket assignment for the whole web site.
If taking the additional step to click on the other "Forums" selection below the entry box, it just takes me to the shout box (ugh!) and a menu of forums. It just doesn't work the way you show it.
By the way, my comment on not archiving the current year posts and not being able to see a list of current year topics was based on clicking the "Draft Talk" link. Silly me to think that's the entry point. You have to click that little icon next to the "Latest" to get to the current year topic list. Even so, where the heck are the 2015 posts archived? They look to be gone entirely, unless they're buried at the bottom of the 2016 topic list.
"Draft Talk" is kludged up, navigates differently and is less intuitive than the much cleaner main forum, and has a questionable rationale for existance in the first place. And it's annoying to have to figure out how to navigate it every year after being away from it so long. Bad design.
I'm done with this. No need to reply. Delete this thread if you're so inclined.
