Hi Stephanie,
There are two kinds of tag tracking on offer and they should be
independent of each other. So on the site when you log in, there is a
tab called 'My Tags'. That tab is supposed to list any posts that are
tagged with your tags of interest and you can look at them whenever you
log in. In contrast, the 'Watched Tags" should actually email you
whenever someone hits one of the tags you list in that field. So you
might want these two lists to have slightly different contents depending
on how often you want to get emailed etc.
Also related to this, we have already retroactively tagged and imported
the past 11+ years of older posts that mention bioconductor package
names or biocViews terms. So you should be able to put tags for your
packages of interest into 'My Tags' and then see related older posts
listed under your "My Tags" tab right away.

Are tags in "My Tags" automatically Watched? Or should I enter those
tags in both fields?
I really like the option to get email when my packages are mentioned.
I think it will mean that users get help faster, since those of us who
are not constantly watching the mailing list will see relevant
questions right away.

Hello!
This is a message to announce the beta test for our new support site.
We hope to replace the regular Bioconductor mailing list with this
site soon and we have imported the past 11+ years of mailing list
discussion into this new site. If you would like to help us test it
out you can do that by logging in here:
https://support.bioconductor.org
For those of you who have posted to the bioconductor mailing list
before, you will probably want to recover your well earned reputation
from previous posts and answers. To do that you will need to scroll
to the bottom of the log in page and click the link that says 'Forgot
Password?'. This should get you started with your mailing list email
address which will already be linked to your previous posts.
And if you have never posted, then you can start a new account from
that same page.
As you explore the beta, you may come across things that you would
like to see changed or that you feel are not working right. This site
is based on a fork of Biostars, and we ask that you please post such
questions to our github repository for this:
https://github.com/Bioconductor/support.bioconductor.org/issues
We aspire to switch over to this new site in early September, but we are
leaving the schedule flexible depending on how well the beta site
works. Also: please note that posts made to the new site during the
beta will dissappear after the test period. We want you to help us
test it, but this is not the live deployment phase quite yet.
I expect there will probably be some other questions about this big
transition. So please ask them as needed and we will try to answer
them the best we can.
Marc
