Purple eyeball

[glacierbaze]

Never noticed it before, but when looking at posts under “new posts”, there is a purple eyeball symbol to the right of the thread title in most of the threads. What does it indicate?

It is a thread you are subscribed to. Update notices should go to your email.

Thanks, but are you sure? I rarely subscribe to a thread, but almost all are marked with the eyeball.
If I click on watched threads, which I assume are subscribed threads, there are only six total

That is generally what it does, but might have something elese going on with your settings.

I don't know about 'subscribing" to a thread.

The eyeball appears whenever you reply to a thread. From now on, I'll have a purple eyeball next to this thread since I replied.

Reply does not work in my scenario either. There are plenty of purple eyed threads that I have not replied to, or even read.
