I'm of a mind our "Posts" needs to be separated from our subscriptions.

I thought at first it was just me who disliked the merger, but I've not seen a single person who says it's nifty. Your mileage may vary.

I get the concept. It helped possibly create more interesting discussions amongst us, or so I thought at first. Which was why I was willing to just clean up my experience and move on, at first. Thing is I'm sensing many of us use our subscriptions as our fillers when we're done with our other things we do here. Which makes the in our face alerts annoying and unwanted.

I wouldn't even mention this except Skinner Mode, which some are more comfortable with at this point, doesn't allow folks to remove their subscriptions from their My Stuff. When this was pointed out to me I realize it may be a flaw.

I know you're busting butt right now fixing bugs, and I deeply appreciate how much hard work you've put into all of this amazing new interface! I enjoy it and this is just a suggestion.

Hey, at least you didn't do something so radical as introduce a jury system and retire all the mods this round, right? Change is always hard, but I have faith you guys got this. It looks good to me. 👍

I'm suggesting unlinking the subscribed forums from the My Stuff indicator or adding a way to turn it off in Skinner Mode.
