I think we all come here for specific reasons...we're dealing with issues in our lives and looking for those who share in that experience. Because of that, we might only care to read specific forums. In fact, some forums might really trigger us, or get our emotions high and we maybe would like to avoid them altogether?

I want to remind members of our "show favorite forums" feature. It's something we've had since before I came on board, but isn't easily noticable.

If you go to the main page (forums index) where you can see a listing of all the forums, scroll down the the bottom and you'll see an option to select favorite forums. You can easily pick the forums you want to view (even if it's all of them but one) and that's all you'll see. Just click into any forum and scroll down to bottom-left and select "add/remove favorite forums" It's easy to switch back at any time. After you've added one or two or three, go back to the main page and select the "view favorite forums".

I know when I first came here, PC looked so big and intimidating...one of the forums very triggering as well. I selected my favs and kept up there...helping my overall experience. If I felt particularly "emotionally safe" or wanted to read more and felt all "caught up", I went back to showing all forums.

It's really another cool to maximize our experience here and put it more in our control.

Check it out!
