Watched Forums is inconsistent/unreliable

I've been having a problem lately where I haven't been notified of new topics when a forum is being watched. I'm watching all forums on my site and notice a bunch of new threads that have been started where I wasn't emailed a notification. I don't know if I'm the only user that this happens to though.

How are you watching all forums on your site?

I click on the "watch this forum" for all the separate forums.

How do you click on watch this forum, can you post a screenshot of that?

Below the last post in a forum there will be a link, "Watch this forum for replies". Also the same is in a post at the bottom as well.

Got ya, i really have never tried it. Don't know if it sends emails or not, however do you then get any related mails of that forum?

YEs, it will email the user who is watching that topic/forum. I get other emails, but it seems to sometimes miss new topics.

Does it go into your spam or something?

No, because I get some notification emails, but for some reason I've found topics that are new where I didn't know about them.

Well, i would let someone else add to this. Since, i have not tried it myself & can't think of a solution as off now.
