Like many other members, I find it irritating and frustrating to have to go into "My Settings," "Forums," "Manage Watched Topics" to view subscribed content. This kind of thing should probably just show up under "My Content," but it obviously doesn't. And with some topics, posting a single message saying "subscribing" is against Forum Netiquette.

Which brings me to "My Liked Content." It seems like that would be the logical place to put subscribed topics, but nothing shows up there. In fact, the site's Help files don't even mention "My Liked Content," nor is there a button anywhere that I can see which lets you "Like" forum content.

So what is "My Liked Content?" How do you "Like" content to show up there? And can we possibly see a modified "My Content" page to also include watched topics?

No insight? Did this fall through the cracks?

Welp, it's been over a year. Was hoping to have at least an acknowledgement, but maybe the IB admins don't know what it is either.

IB have been working on switching this forum over to a new platform, we lost a lot of features after the last 'upgrade' of the current software so the focus has been getting the forum switched to a better (more current) platform.

CMK

Any indication what that platform might be, and any estimation on when that transition will happen?

vBulletin and it was supposed to happen last month so something must have gone wrong with the test site.

I had no idea IB bought vBulletin in 2007. Wild.

Moving over features from this site to the new one was the biggest hiccup. Not everything will carry over so they are trying to get as much as they can to carry over. If you remember the original site, and the migration to this one, there was a lot that didn't carry over and people were pissed. Trying to prevent that from happening as much as possible.
