Navigating these fora

At the Adobe Forums (topmost) page, switch to the My View tab. There's a little "(personalize)" link on it. You can drop in your own views from the eight or so shown. I put an HTML view on the very top and typed up a set of links to the forums I want to follow. e.g. for this forum:

<a href="http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments" style="color:#c00;">Forum Comments</a>

The main page listing is funny. There are sections, the first which is expanded and has icons. There is also right there a drop-down menu which has a fuller listing, but is a pain to dig through. This full list of all forums is available as a drag-and-drop view like I mentioned the HTML view above. But again, too much and I didn't see a way to be selective with it, so I typed up my own.

You could try a standalone RSS reader, like Feedreader, and then subscribe to the Forums that you want to follow. It's sort of like using a newsreader. With Feedreader's built in browser, you can even reply to messages.

In my newsreader, I subscribed to a number of newsgroups - photoshop.elements.tips.tricks, indesign.windows, indesign.scripting, bridge.windows and reader. A single click downloaded all new messages in all of these and I could instantly see how many new posts there were in each. The only way I can find to get from one to another at this site is by going Home and then scrolling through a list of about 550 unsorted forum names to get to the one I want. I can't find indesign.windows anywhere. Can I not at least make a selection of 'favourites' somewhere? There must be a better way - can anyone help?

Hi, the returns are not all in as far as the best way to navigate in a browser when you follow many forums. I expect I'll end up setting up a set of bookmarks for the ones I watch. I also started a gmail account just for the forums, which worked well until they added a numbering system to the subject line in emails, and broke the way gmail groups them. Sigh.

Anyway, lots of people asking and answering in the comments forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments
