When I click on the "my topics" entry on the very top(in between "my blog" and "my controls", I am presented with a full page of topics! I read thru your instructions regarding subscriptions(found on the left panel after clicking on "my controls". It would appear that there is a huge difference in the number of "subscribed topics" vs just clicking on the "my topics". Can you help me tidy this up,please? Thank you honu1 -------------------- Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

There is no user modification for this listing. Topics that one subscribes to will generate a PM notification when a new post is added to the thread. -------------------- The only easy day was yesterday. ...some do, some don't; some will, some won't (WR)

I'd hate to have to search thru numerous pages to find my topics. Thanks for the input! -------------------- Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

Member Group: Members Posts: 61 Joined: 7-October 06 From: Canada Member No.: 88,952	I have read all postings in this topic. It has been very informative, except for one thing. When I go to my controls, and attempt to look for the title explained in post 1 I do not have that link. I also do not have a manage anywhere on the page. I went to my controls and went looking...nada. All I want to do is unsub from the misplaced HJT logs forum. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you
