1) When I go to personalize it I want to add the widget "my discussions" so I can follow mine. It just has popular and recent ones which dont interest me. Plus, if I click on "Your stuff" then choose discussions, its supposssed to be my discussions, but its empty and I have at least one I started and one I replied on.

2) I also can't choose the widget legend that has the checkmark and X to communicate if your question has been answered. I think that is a great tool but not sure how to add it. In fact, my post was answered but I couldn't check that.

I do like the new forum's direction and hope that when they get to it, these isssues will be resolved.

    You could try adding an RSS feed to your personalized homepage. You need to drag the RSS widget onto your personalized page, and then add the URL for your own member RSS feed. The syntax for this feed is: http://forums.adobe.com/community/feeds/allcontent?targetUser=<insert_screen_name_here>

    For your own feed, it would be: http://forums.adobe.com/community/feeds/allcontent?targetUser=dansch37-gx5Nv0

    There is supposed to be a "Watch a User" widget as well but we had to take it out of the palette of available widgets because there was a small bug in it. This will be available again soon!

    With regards to marking a reply as helpful or answered, there should be a link to do that on the individual post itself, not within the legend. You can mark one post as "answer" and two as "helpful".

    Thanks for your feedback! If you have other questions, feel free to check the to help new users with common questions.

    ok, i did the RSS feed. thats new to me but looks like it will work well. but i found another discussion I started and noticed that in addition to it not popping up on my rss or discussions, i have a different set of numbers after my name dansch37-mX3Sf9 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1875157#1875157) and another set after the -gx5Nv0 that is in this discussion. Maybe that has something to do with it.

    Don't worry about, most of mine are missing but there's one there from a fortnight ago in the InDesign forum. This whole thing is half baked.
