661 - Quick link to view subscribed threads
The old SMF forums on wowace.com had the nice "view new replies to your posts" link at the top, which made it easy to keep track of new posts in threads I was active in.
vBulletin has subscriptions, which in theory are better than just watching every thread I've ever posted in, but lacks a quick way to view subscribed threads. Getting to a list of my subscribed threads requires navigating through a half-dozen layers (and page loads) of the user control panel.
Would it be possible to add a quick link to this in the main navigation bar at the top of each page on the forum?
[Edit] I've since discovered that there is a link to subscriptions in the "Quick Links" dropdown menu at the top of the page. However, scripted dropdowns are absolutely terrible for accessibility and usability, and the majority of what appears in this dropdown are not in any way necessary in main navigation. I think it would be much easier and more intuitive for all users to just put a link to subscriptions in the main menu, and move something less-used, like the members list, to the "Quick Links" dropdown.
