Can't we just use the "read it later button" to track stories?

Two shots to you sir!

Yes, but there's no convenient way to see if those stories have updated. You can't get email notification, you can't sort the list by most recent update, and there isn't even a numeric indicator of unread chapters like Favorites have. They actually took out links to the individual pages of the list (leaving only 'next' and 'previous' buttons) not hours after I'd commented that I could at least open those pages in individual tabs and visually scan for the 'unread chapter' icon! All in all, I think that, by merging favorites and watches, the site owners have eliminated the best aspects of both—but they're within their rights to do so, and I'm trying to do something positive (i.e. provide more than a clicked 'I like this' button) instead of cursing the darkness any longer.

64825 Hmm, all good points. If I say that you are totally right and that I will throw my full weight behind you and your arguments, will you put Daylight Burning on your favorites blog post? No, don't answer that. I think we both know the answer *wink*.

Seriously, though, I do miss the track/favorites thing. It sort of waters it down when you get favorited, since you're never sure if they like or love your story, and everypony knows there's a big difference. If they would just improve the functionality of the "read it later button," then there wouldn't be any problem. But give them time, things around here change faster than Rarity's mood swings.

Funnily enough, I realized I'd left dozens of stories off my list, and I'm working on a new blog post. 'Daylight Burning' will be in it.
