Due to low traffic, most posts in my forum are not categorized. I cannot switch to “uncategorized” forum, so I don’t see the button to watch all posts from that “category”. Is there a way to watch them, or will I have to force a category (like “misc”) for all posts?

Go to your user preferences and add the `uncategorized` category in the watched categories list (at the bottom of the page).
