Easier access to subscribed threads poll

In summary, there is a discussion about changing the function of "My PF" so that it takes users to a page where all subscribed threads are listed and bolded if there are new posts. Some users prefer the current setup, where "My PF" only shows new posts in subscribed threads. Others argue that it would become too cluttered if all subscribed threads were included. It is also noted that viewing all subscribed threads is just one click away from the "My PF" page.

Currently "My PF" takes you to new posts in your subscribed threads. Would you like it changed so that it took you to the page where all subscribed threads were listed and the threads with new posts are bolded?

It's just one additional click now to "View All Subscribed Threads", and I like the default as it is now (less clutter). My 2 cents...

I don't subscribe to threads but like it the way it is also.

You might want to check to see how many threads the average member is subscribed to before changing it.

Personally I hardly ever bother to unsubscribe from threads. When people stop posting to them, they just drop off the radar.

Currently "My PF" also shows who has sent (unread) PMs and also links to the latest post in each of my subscribed forums. If it included all subscribed threads, it would become really cluttered.

As berkeman said, seeing all subscribed threads is just one click away from the "My PF" page.

Not a bad idea but I voted to keep it as is. I agree w/ berkeman ... keep the clutter down
