Suggestion: Ability to add a cache to watchlist after publication, e.g. Check Box in Instant Notification setup.

I am starting to get into FTF races but sometimes people usually beat me to the cache and have logged a find already on the geocaching.com site. By suggestion the ability to add a cache to your watchlist straight after publication as part of the instant notifications ability in geocaching.com you can get an email if anyone has found it before you leave from your watchlist if anyone has found it before you; however, this requires the cachers to log a find out in the field - which most people do in my area. Would this be possible?

can't you just add the cache to your watchlist after it is published?

Would adding a link to the insta-notify message ("Click here to add this cache to your watchlist") meet your needs? Based on the design of the insta-notify system, which is built off the "published" log type, that might be a more realistic "ask."

I suppose a link in the email would be good, because the problem is at the moment when I try to go on the cache page it takes ages to load because my mobile internet is very slow. So directly adding to watchlist from email may be good but ideally having it automatically added would be best
