I'm starting to wonder about the accuracy of the online status in the watchlist. It's currently 4am in Shanghai and accordingly to my watchlist Ken, Jenny and John are all online now.

Would it be possible to eliminate duplicate entires in the Watchlist Conversations list? I have 13 entries all for 'The Clogged Toilet' currently on mine.

Yeah, and where can we find an explanation of what the Watchlist does and why there are duplicates in the Conversation List? Can't I just chose which conversations I want to watch? I'm guessing that the main use is to watch personal posts that "friends" start like this one Bazza made, but what if someone who I don't have on my list or whose "Connect" page I don't go makes a post? I'll never know it unless one of my "friends" posts a comment. Where can I find a list of ALL personal posts and ALL recent podcast posts without the dups that annoy me too? 谢谢

I think if you leave your web browser open to the ChinesePod page it will show you online until you completely shut their browser down. Or it could be a bug. (naaaaa... "it's a feature!") And I still wonder why when I do close my web browser and then restart it it doesn't remember me. What I would like to do is make my Connect page, http://www.chinesepod.com/connect/Rich my browser's home page, yet if I do, it just tells me I haven't signed in and I need to once again go to the singin page and click "Remember my username and password" to no avail. Does ChinesePod really need to be that secure? <gripe off>

I have a blank gap in my watchlist now, it says 'This user has chosen not to display a public profile.'

I dunno ... I tried to add a Skype emblem to my info (I think Steve mentioned it to Baza in some thread). Anyway, I now have two different emblems: "I'll never tell" and "I'm Online" -- which never changes, regardless of my status. *sigh* I must have messed up somewhere.
