Lack of interest Watched Thread Icon to Toggle Watch Status

[James]

In the thread list (and whats new), the star is used to identify a thread that I'm watching.

My suggestion is to hyperlink the star to the unwatch URL so that we can unwatch threads directly from the thread list without having to visit it and unwatch from the thread view.

I had the same impression / idea this morning when I first saw it in action.

I understand what Mike is saying about it being inconsistent - the other icons are visual indicators and turning the star into an action button would be inconsistent - but for me it just felt like it would also be a quite natural thing to do as well, and I'm fairly sure I'll get the same suggestion when my members see the icon.

Agreed with what both you and Mike are saying, it just felt natural to click it though!
