Question

Digets? Archives? Easier Forums

Wow, new here but these forums are a pain, and Adobe chat is also in need of improvement.

All of this might be possible, but it sure isn't obvious (adobe is not very good at KISS):

We should be able to get digests rather than constant emails if we subscribe.

We should be able to easily ignore/turn-off answers that are 7-15 years-old; what's the point?

Being able to do these things should be easy and obvious, without the need for complicated must-step directions as in:

Your View & Custom Streams in News

    None of that (obviously or otherwise) answers my questions, though it reiterates the concerns as it illustrates point 3

    1. We should be able to get digests rather than constant emails if we subscribe.
    2. We should be able to easily ignore/turn-off answers that are 7-15 years-old; what's the point?
    3. Being able to do these things should be easy and obvious, without the need for complicated must multi-step directions as in:

    eg: "Click Hotspot > Preferences and you'll see a table of your Streams, showing which ones will send you emails whenever a new entry arrives."

    That's not exactly very clear,  beginning w/ "Hotspot"

    No digest option, right?

    No option to turn off answers in the forums that are ancient right?

    And certainly not obvious at:

    Heck, the shared directions don't even reflect the actual forum preferences. See attached.

    From the "User Manual"

    From the actual Preferences:

    Note, there is no digest option and it seems that option was removed several years ago.
