I don't subscribe to those forums because I just check them regularly anyway, it's so easy with them right there on the home page. So now I will subscribe to them!
Done!
Now, how do I add links to them in that sidebar? I don't see a way to add a link to a particular forum I've subscribed to, there. Only "Subscriptions (Forums)
Notify when someone starts a new discussion in a forum you are subscribed to"
Which, as previously noted, is NOT what I want as it brings links/quotes from new posts into that space which is problematic for me (I find them visually distracting in the way a single link that would be there all the time and just change color or whatever to 'notify' me would not be.)
I think I just need to concentrate on getting used to using the "My Stuff" button to look at the "My Subscriptions" feed PAGE only when that's what I want to do to check something, and sort through and click only on the ones I want. And just forget about being notified about specific forums having a generic new post there, without having to see snippets from them or whatever. "Feeds" (even the ones that don't move) are terribly distracting and visually disorienting on a page where I'm trying to focus on other things, so I avoid them except when I want to scan, or search for something in, a particular feed.
And that's just me, so THAT'S OKAY. I've learned over time how to manage my problems with visual distractions and Adult ADD/ADHD, and it just means learning to accommodate, and occasional extra effort. I can do it again here.
Thank you. Now that I have those two added to "Subscriptions" it's much easier to access them in DU4, so I am grateful!
Appreciatively,
Bright
