In the vast majority of the e-mail notices I get regarding threads I've subscribed to, the link doesn't take me to te thread. It takes me to the "Featured" page. How do I find my subscribed threads so I don't have to deal with this? I really don't want to waste my time rooting through that mess of subforum titles and hoping that I happen to stumble across the thread that I'm looking for. I've looked through my personal pages, but don't see anything.


 


Never mind. I just found it in the least logical of places, "Preferences". UGH! I used to like to come to this site everyday. Now I just pop in now and then to wrap up loose ends.

Off hand it could be because the site logs you in when you visit and it send you to the main page when that happens from a e-mail link.
So try a link twice in a row and see what happens.

I agree. Its becoming more and more painful to deal with WotC and fans are bailing left and right. I don't want to compare it to anything, but the titanic comes to mind.

Oh, I doubt people are bailing right and left. The most upset people are the most vocal, and it seems those folks are still around.

Wait...was that aimed at me?


Actually look at the recent post counts in most of the forums. The only place they haven't dropped significantly is in the technical and digital D&D sub-forums where everyone is talking about the bugs and 'features' that they don't like.

I'm not saying this is or is not true, but perhaps that's because now that there are group forums available, people are all going off to talk to people they like instead of the general community. Given this, it would even make sense that the DDI stuff hasn't decreased because people are actually trying to get information to wizards in those threads.

That would be easy to verify. Just search through the groups and see how much activity each has.
