    @Frank Sauer The link below will take you to a page that lists the last 50 commented-upon posts. It includes only posts on the Logos and Verbum English Forum (so no Proclaim posts anywhere on the page). I've saved this link directly to my browser, so that I can access it with one click, alongside a second link to all recent posts (which includes Proclaim and all the other forums).

    Jason, no offense, but seriously? Examine each one, click into, go back. Next one. I doubt I'm representative … even at church, people break out by language, so life is life.

    I find it most helpful to "Follow" the forums one is interested in. Then one can sort Recent Activity by "Followed Categories". This will exclude all posts from forums one is not interested in from the list of displayed posts.

    Great suggestion, Aaron.

    Whether a user wants to see all posts across all languages and all categories ("All Recent Posts") or just the content that they have opted-in to follow ("Followed Categories"), there's a view that should work for them.

    Links for both views have been added to the Quick Links section on the home page.

    Well, blindness has overtaken me. I can't see any quick links on my iphone. I tried starting at the top, or bouncing into recent posts. Vertical or horizontal. Zippo.

    For me on mobile it either appears in the top left hamburger menu (from the homepage) or scrolling to the very bottom of the page (from this page). Or sometimes it's nowhere to be found. Happy hunting!

    Yes Maria, I do use that as well. I was speaking specifically of the Home Page. If not possible for whatever reason, I'll continue using the forums as I have been.

    Some of the responses are making me feel like I'm not navigating the forums thoroughly enough (i.e., I may be missing out on stuff I want to see). From the start, I chose how to follow (I want to see both new posts and new comments), and I chose the forums I want to follow (nothing non-English and no Proclaim). At every forum visit, I go to the bell icon at the upper right when the counter indicates new content is available. I scroll through, send what I'm interested in to individual tabs, then click Mark All Read. Lastly, I read through the tabs with the new posts/comments. Rinse and repeat. I don't interfere with the rest of the forums (unless I'm searching for something specific). I feel like this is an efficient way to capture the things I actually want to see, but could I be overlooking some comments and threads by using this method?

    I tried the bottom 'All Categories' That is just a high level picker of categories. Back to the hunt … the pony's in here somewhere.

    Why are there no "Quick Links" on the English Forum page?

    Yasmin, I'm at a loss. I thought I was tracking recent posts in english. But actually logos/verbum apps only. This is getting tiresome. I don't see any 'choosing' on the iphone, like you describe.

    I did my setup from the laptop but I think it should work the same for the iPhone. In Notification Preferences (found in Account & Privacy Settings in profile icon), I chose to be notified by the bell icon (there's an email option also) of new posts and new comments. Then I went to the Forums and Feedback sections, and selected the ones I wanted to follow (click the bell icon for each subforum you want to follow and there will be additional options). Since then, I get notified (via a badge count on the bell icon at the upper right) of any new comments or posts made in only the subforums I follow. I don't mess with Quick Links, Recent Posts, or anything like that. It seems really simple, which is why I was lowkey FOMO'ing when I read about other people doing these other things 🤔

    Thank you, Yasmin!
