I recently asked about how to filter the forum so I see only the topics I am interested in. I chose the wrong wording for the title, and the thread turned into a shit show.
I discovered how to do what I wanted. By adding the topics I want to "watched forums" and "watched threads", as appropriate,
and then using the Watched section on the forum drop down, I don't see the topics I am not interested in. Since I do not have to wade through all of that extraneous stuff, I find that I am participating more in the forum.
I post this solely for the benefit of any others who may want to do something similar, and have not found those tools. Mods, please feel free to lock this thread. I see no need to read comments from people who think it is "sad" that I want to make forum usage easier and more pleasant.
