Hey folks I have "watched" a few topics on a few different forums but cant figure out how to find the list of forums I am watching to quickly navigate back to them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Click on the button "Settings" in the top bar. From there, under "Your options", click "Forums" and on the left you'll see a small menu with some options, including "Manage watched topics".

Doesn't the forum send you an email telling you a comment has been posted and gives you a link to the thread?
I believe this was what happened when I "watched" a topic.
