Thank you for that. It helps a lot.
1.) I think I did see that before, now that you pointed it out.
2.) Even after you told me to open the Search page, I had a really hard time finding the Search page. My brain was just not registering that icon.
3.) Well, maybe some day.
4.) I'd rather be able to subscribe to topics but at least there's a save button.
Thanks for clearing that up. Seriously, I was not seeing that Search icon at all. I was looking for a search box or the word 'Search' and just failing to find it.
If I had an answer, I'd give it to you. Have you tried viewing the page in another browser?
(I'm not suggesting you switch browsers, just asking as a trouble-shooting step.)
