Thank you. I went to preferences, and have already got the topics set up on the right of the page, but I still have to scroll a lot to find breaking news. Near the top right corner there is a list of "my topics," but it does not display breaking news either. It looks like this:

General Interest

If I could get Breaking News to show in THAT list, it would make things a lot better. Again, thanks.

If you have "subscribed' to breaking news then breaking news items should appear on the right hand side (column) listing several threads that are currently in the breaking news category. The same thing for Front Page or the others.

But breaking news wont appear as a line item in the group of Forums you just listed. Those are forums only... example this is a partial listing of the right hand side of my Latest post page......

Hey Eggs, let me see if I can explain it to you. These topics alway show up in the top right hand corner without you doing anything.

Now if you want to add Breaking News or any other topic to your list go to the top rt. of the screen and click on topics. A window will open with all the different topics listed. If you want Breaking new to be the first in line after the list above scroll down to it first, then click on it. When that window comes up there will be a sentence at the top in a different color. It will say you are not subscribed to this topic. If you want to subscribe click here. Then scroll to the next topic you want in your right hand column and do the same thing for the next topic. Just remember the order you click on them is the order they will come up in your right hand column. Once you do this you will see all the threads in the Breaking news like before. If I remember once you do this you need to refresh your screen

I hope this makes sense to you. It took me a long while to figure it out.
