Notifications and Filtering the Forum Groups

Q.1 Since there doesn't seem to be a Forums tag I used features. What tag is appropriate for forum specific posts?

Q.2 Under filters in the English forum, I can filter to categories I follow, then recently created, and so on, but in the last drop down titled Filters, under the Tags section, is it possible to select multiple tags, say, two or three instead of just one? If not is this something that is being considered? I don't want to see or follow all of them, but I also really don't prefer just 1 at a time.

Q.3 On the same thought line, Shouldn't my filter preferences be permanently saved until I decide to change them again? When I log out or close my browser and open it again why do I have to reset and save them again?

Q.4 In my notification preferences under groups, shouldn't we be given the option to select subgroups ( same as the filters in Q.3) or deselect subgroups since the English forum now contains all those we used to be able to pick or ignore if we wanted in the old forum. Currently we are forced to get them all, right?

Q.5 I know email notifications are coming. Any idea other than "soon" as to when this might happen? Just thought I'd throw that in as a bonus question😁

I apologize if I'm just missing something, just point me in the right direction if I am. Thank you for your patience.

    Thanks Jason! I also needed to update in the bell icons of the followed content in case anyone else asks.

    Just wondering, under "categories" in notification settings, this will only email me followed categories correct?

    How can I get the filters in the "English forums" to permanently save my preferences?

    Currently if I leave the page or sign off when I return I have to reset them again each time. This is a pain.

    Also can anything be done about the format on the email notices?

    I haven't figured all the setting out but go to your picture/avatar, select account and privacy settings

    the two menus in the red box allow you to set a ton of options - some of which are self-explanatory, some I simply guessed on.

    You make a good point. I noticed this yesteday when I needed to post about an error that I received. We don't have a forum or community tag, which might be worth considering since Logos is inviting feedback on the new forum platform. What do you suggest @Jason Stone (Logos) ?

    Agreed - a tag for the Forum/Community would be helpful

    Thank you MJ for the response. I believe I had exhausted all my options in the locations you pointed to before I posted my questions. At least I know I looked in the right places. Thanks for trying though.
