Yes, it's because you are watching my talk page. It's not magic.

So, what's everyone planning on doing for New Years? I'm having a tiki party, and rum punch will be served.

Lord Goonie Hooray! I'm helping!16:07, 30 December 2010

Bonfire on the beach, lots of music, lots of drinks, lots of... er... refreshments. Will be messy.

Ψ GremlinPraat!16:15, 30 December 2010

Oh, how I wish I could go to the beach. Instead, I'm trapped in the tundra under 4 feet of snow. Good times, good times.

Lord Goonie Hooray! I'm helping!16:21, 30 December 2010

No worries. I'll have one for you. :)

I'm not watching Nx's talkpage, yet me "New Messages" thing at the top of page says (24) and takes me here when I click. This gives you major unfair competitive advantage over me and Human, for attention whoring. Nerds unite, or the cabal will enslave us. We have the numbers, Brothners.

~ Lumenos (talk)22:04, 3 January 2011

Yes you are, otherwise you wouldn't be getting the new messages notice.

-- Nx / talk22:05, 3 January 2011

At the time of posting that message I could make the little star turn blue or white. Now it is perma-blue. The cabal powns history Brothnerds, we must get them to write us program to make screenshots of everything. Huuumm parental monitoring software should do it. Haha! But then what if the goblins get into that as well? ~ Lumenos (talk) 22:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

You are a very very weird person, you know?

-- Nx / talk22:50, 3 January 2011

Auugh, no way to re-edit me posts. Me powers, what have you done with them?!?!

~ Lumenos (talk)22:53, 3 January 2011

Hum but I can do this. Kinda nifty I guess.

~ Lumenos (talk)23:02, 3 January 2011
 

Yes there is. look harder.

-- Nx / talk23:02, 3 January 2011

Oh I sees, thanks.

This page does not appear on my watchlist yet still I have Nx' talkpage in me New Messages and the star will not go white. Could this be REaliTy?

~ Lumenos (talk)23:00, 3 January 2011

You also have to unwatch this specific thread. By replying to it, you are adding it to your watchlist.

Please remove l337wax from ears. Star will not turn white when I click it and it is not on my "watchlist" which I can edit.

~ Lumenos (talk)23:15, 3 January 2011

Go here and see if my userpage (not my talk page) is on your watchlist. If it's not, click ignore in the header for this thread, and stop posting here.

Your userpage and talkpage are not on my "watchlist" and the stars for these pages are currently white. I clicked ignore for this thread and the ignore link doesn't go away, neither do the "New Messages" stop linking to something appearing to be your talkpage. (I'm not trying to ignore you, just testing.) When I click New Messages I'm taken to a page with many threads I am not "observing", many of which I've never posted in and they all seem to be on "your talkpage".

~ Your faithful guineapig (talk)23:41, 3 January 2011

First of all, on Special:NewMessages, click Mark all as read. Then, click ignore AGAIN on the header of this thread. Then, don't post on my talk page.

-- Nx / talk23:45, 3 January 2011

Did that. The "ignore" link doesn't go away when I click ignore. Instead it takes me to a page with only this thread on it. Clicking the blue star on this one-thread-page does not turn the star white.

This doesn't require scripting enabled, does it?

~ Lumenos (talk)02:05, 4 January 2011

It works without javascript, but it's better with it. Regardless, the ignore button should work.

-- Nx / talk06:51, 4 January 2011

Should the ignore button change to "observe" immediately after you click it? It is definitely not doing that for me. I tried with Chromium also.

<not required reading> Chromium is what you use? ...or Chrome on Microsofties Windhoes? You don't have to answer that.

I guess I am the only one and this is just a big coincidence that it just happened to be the person who knows the sekrits of the RationalWiki voting machines. </not required reading>

~ Lumenos (talk)08:55, 4 January 2011

If you have javascript, it should change to observe.

-- Nx / talk08:59, 4 January 2011

Oh, so it is different without scripts.

I found that they are appearing in the threads section of my watchlist, where I could remove one.

I found that they are (now) appearing in the threads section of my watchlist, where I could remove one.

That is weird. I thought I had removed this page from my watchlist, but when I followed the link I saw it still listed there, along with a bunch of pages I never remember following.
