[[n:User:Dendodge]] has reported that clicking Vector's star to watch a page now takes him to a confirmation notice on a separate page (such as the one one gets when using &action=unwatch directly), as supposed to a JsNotice-style message in the article itself (which should happen when you click Vector's star). This appears to be a regression from 1.16. I have been unable to reproduce this bug in (an admittedly broken) Firefox 3.6.13 or Chromium. He says that it works fine in IE & Google Chrome, but not in Firefox 3.6.13. He has Javascript & CSS enabled. His Firefox build ID: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 GTB7.1
Works for me, as long as I wait for the page to finish loading. In order to speed up loading, the scripts have moved to the bottom of the page in 1.17. This means that the Ajax watch functionality won't be available immediately. Is he perhaps not waiting for the page to load completely?

[18:40:03] <Dendodge> <redacted> [18:40:10] <MC8> before watchlisting them [18:40:19] <Dendodge> Yes, I think so [18:40:33] <Dendodge> Yes, because I ahd been reading one for ages before I tried to watch it \\
User is reporting that this has been fixed, probably due to the fix for bug 27368.
