I can't see how to add a thread to my 'followed content'.  The help guide still talks about clicking on the old red heart icon which is no longer there.

Can someone please advise me about how to do this?  Thanks

@Gers  On my PC browser, there's a little flag icon on the top of the posts page - at the right hand end of where the thread title is - same as the old forum, just a bit smaller.

But I think individual threads show under 'Bookmarked Threads' and forums you follow show under 'Followed Content'.  So if you bookmark a single thread it won't show under 'Followed Content'.

Very bad. You managed to delete my account so I had to re-register and now I can't see how to edit my posts.

Hi @Gers

For Threads, you would use the Bookmark icon at the top of this thread to add it to your Bookmarks.

"Followed Content" is actually currently only for seeing followed Boards. So you can follow a board by clicking the bell icon when viewing a board. 
This page is a new page that was only created by our provider a few weeks ago. It has the word "Content" because the plan is that you'll be able to see much more there in the future. Showing the boards you follow is the first step in making that page much more useful.

If you bookmark it at the top of the page, then click on your profile symbol (wherever that is exactly on your page; for me it's at the top right-hand corner of the site) and it will be under bookmarked threads

Thanks - however clicking on the bell only gives me an option about notifications.

  Thanks, so, followed content is a left over from 'favourites' of the previous format and only bookmarks can be added?

Clicking the bell icon on a board you are not following should bring up the option to follow -



If you follow the board, it should then give you options for how you want to receive notifications - if any.


So if you just see notification options when clicking the bell icon then you are already following the board.

No, don't get that option!

Not sure if already mentioned here, but it would be great if a page could show more than 10 comments/posts. A drop-down to select how many are visible would be handy.
Thanks
