This is the third feature request I've done since the upgrade, so my apologies if I'm going a little fast with this.
But I think "Subscriptions" should be a little more like "My Followed Content" from the old forum.
As it is, we currently have a choice between finding a thread in "New or Updated Forum Threads", which can display all the recently updated threads that one has posted in, or "Subscriptions", which is a select few threads contained in a sort of bookmark or favorites section, the problem with this being that you are constantly notified of every new post in a subscribed thread.
"My Followed Content" from the old forum had a great balance between these two. One could "Follow" as many threads as they wanted to, and easily be able to access them and be able to tell when they've been updated (via the grayed out icons), and yet not have our notifications cluttered with pointlessness so we can still easily see when we've been quoted or messaged.
My proposition: A combination of Subscriptions and the old Followed Content pages. One where we have the option to get notified of every post or not, as well as other options.
As well, two honest-to-God additions that I'd like to propose relating to Subscriptions. Personal pinning and visible tags.
Right now, it's hard to tell the version of a texture pack or mod from our Subscriptions/Updated Threads lists because prefix tags aren't visible. I propose simply making them visible.
Secondly, a way to make navigation between commonly visited threads even easier, being able to pin them in your Subscriptions. That way you can keep that one suggestion you follow intently pinned neatly at the top of your Subscriptions unaffected by updates in other threads, ready for you to see without having to navigate through other threads to find it.
I am aware of the option for subscribed threads in notification settings, but either this option doesn't work for me or does something different, because whether or not it's checked, I am still notified of every post in subscribed threads,
And that's it. I'm sorry if having more than one feature in one thread counts as a wishlist as it would for game suggestions. But they are all related to Subscriptions.
Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

I suggested something that would fall into these lines a few weeks ago.
