I have a number of 'watched topics' from the old forum software.
I can toggle on/off the view of updated topics/old topics but I can't seem to get a complete list of all topics I have subscibed to.

How to I display the complete list of topics?

Thanks.

To the far right of the latest news line, there is an arrow pointing left. Click on it.

Do you see the line "View the latest news"? You have to be at the top level of the forums.

Right below "View New Content" there should be an arrow in a box. Clicking on that will expand it to two sections, "Recent Topics Added" and "Watched Content".

Yep, I can get to watched content and I can get some threads that I have subscribed to, but not all - see my first post.
I have no arrows to click on.

The arrow is only there if you've toggled that section off.

I don't normally subscribe to topics, but I just just clicked Watch Topic on 16 threads and they all show up. How many topics are you talking about?

Is it just the threads that you started watching before the upgrade that are gone?

There is no arrow, there is a + and - toggle on my screen.

I am talking about more topics than are displayed on my screen. I can't get a full list of all
topics I have subscribed to.
FWIW, am only subscribing to "old" threads.

Click the "+" and you'll see the arrow. But it won't help you with this problem.

Oh yes, I get an arrow if I close down recent and watched topics completely but you're right, it does not help at all.
This is distressing :(

The only reason the arrow was mentioned at all was because he thought you might have that section toggled off, and the arrow is the way to get it back.

I guess there's just a limit on the number of threads it's able to show in that section of the screen.

Other forums I've used have a page in the user's profile or control panel that displays all their subscriptions, but I couldn't find anything in this forum like that.
