In summary, to add a new thread to your watched threads list, simply click on the "Watch Thread" button on the thread page. You can also remove a thread from your watched threads list by clicking on the "Unwatch Thread" button or managing your watched threads in your profile settings. There is no limit to the number of threads you can watch, but it is recommended to only watch relevant threads. You can receive notifications for new posts on watched threads and organize your list by creating folders in your profile settings.

Before the recent up gradation in PF ,the subscribed threads could be managed in various sub-folders . In PF 4.0 I find all the subscribed threads under one heading "Watched Threads" .

Is it possible to save these threads under sub folders just like we did in previously i.e relevant threads in one folder ? If yes, Please let me know how I may do so .

Thanks.

Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. Maybe it will be added in the future.
