Since the VMware forum software was upgraded to this new format the thread titles are shorter and shown with ... to indicate a longer title that cannot be shown. In fact, there's plenty of room. For example, VMware Workstation Pro Discussions titles: "Graphics corruption in Ubuntu guest since upgrading Workstation to 15.5.6" shown as: "Graphics corruption in Ubuntu guest since upgradin..." "VMWare workstation 16.1 on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 -> Network bridge problems" shown as: "VMWare workstation 16.1 on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 -> ..." I find it harder to browse the thread listing because sometimes the shortened titles don't give me enough information to know what the thread is about.

If I go to my profile and choose 'Your Content' there is a settings sprocket for each thread in my content. When I click on that sprocket there is a 'Following' and then a number. When I click on that it then shows a popup of how I am supposed to be following the thread. That popup is always wrong, it is always defaulting to 'Connections Stream' and only that for every thread even when I am not following 'Connections Stream'. This is clearly a bug. For example take this thread, for which I am subscribed to e-mail watches and inbox: Request for feature: Please let me use my other VMs when "Cleaning up deleted files" is working And here is an animated GIF which shows the incorrect settings in the 'Your Content' page: Notice it also changes the following from 2 to 1. But nothing actually changes, it keeps the correct settings. It is like that for every thread, the 'Your Content' page the 'Following' results are incorrect.
