There are dozens and dozens of forums on ATP - that's a lot! What's the best way to manage them?

Most of our members are not interested in every single forum on the site. You can customize your homepage by "watching" only the forums that you are interested in. Go to the Forums Tab to find the complete listing of the forums. Click on the ones that you are interested in. On the right hand blue bar you will see an option to "watch this forum". Click on that. Repeat this process for all of the forums that you are interested in. Now your homepage will only show your preferred forums.

Don't worry about missing anything, because at the bottom of the homepage is a list of the latest threads from all of the forums. Also, new forums are announced in the Site Talk forum.
