I think reducing stickies would help.

But what I really want is a watchlist, so at the top of my Advanced Topics page would be those topics that are on my watchlist and have new posts since I last read them.  The new posts part is already done; is there a way to make a watchlist?

Not exactly what you wanted, but: I think there used to be a way of subscribing to individual topics, but it was removed for some reason. I think it was removed for putting excess strain on the server, but I'm not sure... Perhaps bookmarking them in your browser would work - I can't think of any other "easy access" solution right now.

Yeah - it was removed for putting far too much strain on the server. Unforutnately, so will any other kind of Scratch-supported "reminders," so I wouldn't expect them to be coming your way any time soon

Why don't you try it in New Scratch Members? It has more stickies that Advanced Topics and Show and Tell... 

Or should we not do it there because it might confuse new members? 

It's a good point - it may confuse the newest of new members a bit.

Bumping. 

Good idea - we still need some more feedback before we can make these changes take effect. From what I'm understanding, the feedback is moderately positive.

Please, speak now or forever hold your peace! (Just kidding  )

Seems like the feedback we're getting still seems mostly positive. I think iTopics can still get a lot of views. So let's try it out! If after a month or so the consensus is for restoring the old sticky method, we can always revert.
