In the old website, I could access my trope watchlist from just about any page on the website or forum. Now I don't even know how to reliably find it.

Also, the "Launches" button is missing from the watchlist page, despite being somehow present on forum pages.

As near as I can tell, it can only be currently accessed from pages you already have watchlisted. Easiest thing to do is probably to watchlist the homepage

But, yeah, I'd like to see a link added to the header

Yes, changing it so the watchlist button adds whatever page you're currently on to the watchlist before allowing you to even get to it was a horrible move to make. What on earth possessed you to make that change? Even better, when using the page history links in the watchlist, the changes are greyed out and nearly invisible.

And on top of that, clicking on the page links in the watchlist still opens a new tab whenever you like it or not. I don't want to open them in a new tab!


EDIT: To test this out, I clicked Random at the top and it took me to Male Frontal Nudity. Yeah, that's a good start. I try accessing my watchlist. Oh look, Male Frontal Nudity is now polluting my watchlist. Drop. This comes up at the top of the watchlist:

Main/MaleFrontalNudity You need to Get Known to use this feature.

And refreshing the page again... oh look, it's back again. Drop. Refresh. It's back again.

So yeah. One of the worst of Sex Tropes in existence is now stuck permanently in my watchlist. I can't get rid of it, and can't do anything about it.

Thank. You. Very. Much.

Yeah, the watchlist, edit-search, and recent edits functions need to be way more visible and accessible.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Thanks for adding the watchlist to the drop-down (even though it now takes one more click that it took before the UI change, yay usability), but now I can't find the "launches" button anywhere.

...Except on this here "Add a new post" page! This makes no sense!

The "launches" button is also in the sidebar.

In DRAGON, the "Launches" button seems to be widespread again. Locking this as the other issues are either better off in their own threads or resolved too.
