  • Hmm.

    I'll work on filters instead.

    The Following page has a purpose "Show you everything that has changed that you are interested in".

    So if you're following a forum and new things are created... put them in there.
    If you're following a person who updates their profile... put it in there.
    If you're following an event that has new comments... put it in there.
    And if someone has replied to you... put it in there.
    If someone @mentioned you... put it in there.

    Those last two... those could be in messages, but if we didn't show you on Following then we'd never show you as that's the only place we're showing this stuff.

    And then... it is possible to follow a private message, and that should go somewhere... on the following page because it's an update to something you're watching.

    It is right. I just need to offer the ability to filter by type of update.

    We do know the difference between:

    1. New comments in non-PMs
    2. New comments in PMs
    3. Mentions
    4. Replies
    5. New items in forums

    So we should filter on that basis.

    We can additionally introduce a "read/unread" filter, as I have been looking into that and it's not so insane.
