Watch lists converting over or recreate?

Starting with portions of MRL's post from another thread:

I also believe the search function is much more user friendly.

Any sites info you REALLY like or use as a reference, you may want to copy/paste or backup somewhere else. So if it does accidentally disappear you can re-post on the new site.

Remember, we Admins and Moderators are learning too, so will all be fumbling along the best we can for awhile!

Know the back-up/save comment has been said a lot and yet probably not enough!!

Are the watch lists (topics) supposed to carry over into subscriptions? Didn't see any of mine over there (or possibly not looking in the right place?) so have printed out with the intent of relocating and subscribing after the conversion. Is that the best way?

Same question for watched users, though less concerned about that one - unless they (like me) are planning on changing their names and hiding out for a little bit!

My guess is that watch lists will not carry over to subscriptions. I think the way that you describe is better than I've come across. I just discovered that you can subscribe to a forum and not just topics.

I tried to subscribe to a forum, and it just subscribed me to a topic. Is there something similar to a Watch List, so I don't have to go through the whole forum to see what's new?

I don't think we'll be able to watch users, I'm really going to miss that feature if we can't.
