All Threads vs visiting individual forums

Never used All Threads because I couldn’t filter out the forums I didn’t care about at all (Politics, HS). If there was a way to customize the All Threads to show only forums you select, I’d use it. Otherwise, I’ll stick to going individual forums.

Interesting thought. Might be a future enhancement. The ability to hide/mute forums you aren't interested in. No promises, but I could see it being useful if I can easily add it.

I used to have this problem too.  Then I learned how to skim through the titles.  Life changer.

To be fair, HS threads almost never pop up.

My mind is blown by the amount of people who have never done the "All Threads" option.  Almost 10

When I discovered "ALL THREADS" for the first time, it immediately became my jam. So convenient and time-saving for me, a very lazy man.

Interesting. I only ever use the All Threads link. I only go to an individual forum if I am looking for a specific thread that I know hasn't been active in a while.

This is me.

Forum by forum. I typically only goto politics when I’m feeling dangerous.

I also have always done forum by forum because I like to post/read everything at once.

Ill probably make the switch if I can get the politics threads off All-Threads. I don’t really post, but just reading topics angers me lol.

I've got bad news. Subscribed threads is a huge resource drain so I'm getting rid of it, at least in its current form.

Shiiiiiiiiiit.  Chalk me up as another person who uses this as my bookmark.

I do also use All Thread, but only after I've gone through the subscribed threads.  Basically, "What kind of shit have we been talking about?  Now, what kind of shit have others been talking about?"

The Subscribed Threads can stay, but the My Threads is definitely getting the axe. I don't think it even works.

Is that supposed to be a tab for threads that the user has started?  I've never, ever used it, but I just assumed that was what it was.

After further review, thread subscriptions isn't as bad as I initially thought. I've added it to the new design.
