Streamlining Physics Forums with Updated Subscriptions on Main Page?

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of having updated threads appear above the main forum sections on the front page of PhysicsForums for convenience. One person suggests bookmarking the My PF page or using keyboard shortcuts to quickly access the updated threads. It is also mentioned that different people have different preferences for the main forum page and using bookmarks can be a helpful solution.

When I go to physicsforums I always check my subscriptions (My PF). It would save some time to have the updated threads appear above the main forum sections on the front page. I am not saying that I need this, but it seems that it could be a convenience, to make PF more streamlined. Would this be something useful?

Why not bookmark the My PF page or https://www.physicsforums.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all" , and just go directly there without going to the main forum page?

Different people would want different things on the main forum page so it is hard to please everybody. I like to use the main page to view a list of the different subforums, which I can then explore as I wish, without my subscribed threads cluttering it up. But I also have a bookmark to My PF, and that is what I use to get to PF most of the time.

I have a bookmark to the usercp page, with keyword "pf". Makes getting to the updated threads easy. If you use the keyboard shortcuts, it's even faster to use the shortcut than to scroll back to the top to click on "My PF".
