    Hi, first of all, English is the forum's main language. If you're asking about locked chapters, those mostly depends on the translator. Novelupdates (NU) only link to free chapters.

    Nu accepts Indonesian novels but from what your saying your also the author of the novel you want to add right?
    You can't add your novel if you're the author.

    Well if it's your own novel you translated then you can upload it on https://www.scribblehub.com/
    It's NU's sister site for original novels (as in the creator is the same aka @Tony)

    The kind that only show the update for titles bookmarked in your list? Is it a feature already, and if so, how to turn it on?

    It's not - at least, not exactly.. The main page is a stream of all new releases and you can't switch it to just showing updates for your reading list. However, there is an option in the Global Settings of your reading list to add an additional section to the top of the main page that only lists updates for novels in your reading list. It's called "Display Favorites on Main Page".

    Since I see you've divided your reading list into multiple tabs: It looks like it asks you to select a list when you click on it, and it does. But you can add additional lists you'd like to see by clicking in the box again. This allows you to pick and choose which tabs of your reading lists show updates on the main page, rather than having all of them do so.

    by 'locked', do you mean password-protected ? or something like you need to 'buy'?

    is it something like this?
    read : https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/anyone-know-how-to-contact-secret-land-castle-group.91700/
    also read : https://secretlandcastle.wordpress.com/

    or is it like this?

    How do you 'bookmark' a post or a thread?
    To bookmark a thread is it the same as watching the thread?

    there's no way to bookmark a post, as far as the forum's built-in functions are concerned, iinm.
    but you can right-click on the #number next to the Like button to bring up your Browser's menu, and choose "bookmark this link".

    if you click Watch Thread, the forum will send you an alert whenever there's a new post in that thread. you will only get 1 alert however. only that first post (after you went away) that will give you alert. subsequent posts will not.
    you will only get alerted again if you have revisited that thread.

    you can view all thread you're 'watching' by clicking the button like in the pictures below
