I remember a long time ago that there was a link that we could choose the forms we wanted to follow. It wasn't the hub topics but the forum topics. I may want to venture back into the forums again. There are a few that I don't want to venture into. Is that link still around and if so where?
Perhaps you mean Edweirdo's forum filter.
Unfortunately, it only works with Chrome.

Obviously I didn't get my question written correctly. When you come to HP you can choose what topics you wish to follow. You don't have to follow the ones you don't want to follow, such as autos or health or religions or such. There is no way to only choose the forum topics that you want to read or be a part of. Perhaps HP could set it up the same way as choosing which topics you wish to follow.
If you use Chrome or Firefox you can download a plugin by Edweirdo which lets you choose the forums you want to visit or ignore. Just run a search.
One of these days, HP will enable that feature so that we are not dependent on the vagaries of software restrictions by outside vendors.
Leastwise, I hope so.
Then again, maybe you are talking about something else. Not sure.
I think this MIGHT help?
When you are on your feed page (Home) there is a tiny little link
hide filters
If you click that it gives you options in the sidebar to narrow your views - Topic and Type
Type does give the option of "Forum Posts"
In addition if you click the "edit" link under "TYPE" a large selection of checkboxes appears which allows another level of customization.
So one could set up the FEED to show only certain topic/forum events - you just have to make sure to "untick" the default of "follow this forum topic" when you post here ... (it should be the other way around!)
ok .. eds filter

Why can I no longer click on the Follow and Unfollow button on the Questions and Forums? I used to be able to do that without having to respond myself. A question was asked and I wanted to follow to see what everyone said because I had the same question. To follow it, I had to respond. My response...

Just curious, it's not the end of the world... but one person un-followed me today. It's easy to tell as I am fairly new here and didn't have a lot of followers to begin with. What might be some reasons anyone would unfollow?

Why can't I unfollow a forum from my email, just as I do with hubs?I love following forums, but after a while, if the thread is so long, it fills up my email so quickly. Each time I go to click unfollow the forum from the email, it takes me to a page that says "Error" contact the HubPages...

I am literally sick and tired of people who follow you, and then, when you follow them back, they promptly unfollow you. Really, people? What do you do when someone unfollows you shortly after you follow them? Do you hunt them down and unfollow them as well? Do you send them mail saying what they...

As some of you may have noticed ads show up on articles, the answer section and the forums. Great, the more ads the more that we can possibly earn. But I am still having a problem with the hubber (profile) score. Since any links that appear on a hub are no follow if the profile score is below 85,...
