It looks fine.
Why did you think it was necessary?

By the way, I still think that having a PC (Macs included) ‘hadware’ section would be really useful.

There are many important and common hardware problems that are not dependent on the OS.
For example: forgetting to plug the PC to the mains, or to turn it on are both problems that can happen regardless of what sort of PC it is.
Two truly universal problems, one might say.

Go to Forums and under AskWoody support there’s a link entitled “PC Hardware”. There are 5 fora there and I notice that under the “Questions: How to Troubleshoot Hardware Problems” there is a topic about Time Machine on Macs that you started (that’s not intended to be a jab OscarCP :-))

DrBonzo: Not to worry, I have a reasonably tough skin.

What happened is that there was this thread started by someone who explained, both in the title and in his original comment, that when trying to eject an external hard disk, the thing would just not go away. I had exactly the same problem, except that this other person’s machine is Windows something or other and mine is a Mac running Big Sur. So I thought: Great! this is also my problem, and someone has already taken the trouble to start a thread on it, so I am going to post here my own story. Then I was told in no uncertain terms to buzz off by a well-know local personality, because this was a Windows something of other thread.

So I reasoned that as there are 591,468,978,345 different versions of the Windows operating system alone by now, there would have to be more threads than that, altogether, counting macOS versions and the diverse Linux distros, all on the very same problem, to cover the lot. I ended by pointing out that this was not a very efficient way to do this, but failed to convince.

So here I am at it again. I am such an optimist!

Such is my tale of woe that, paradoxically no doubt, moves me to propose again what I have proposed before.

But you might be right, and maybe this is not all that necessary, because there will be less threads on the same topic than I have estimated, taking into account what you wrote.

Okay, thank you. It looks good.
But is there a way/manner possible to organize one’s subscriptions to topics in somekind of a overview? Please.

Does clicking Subscriptions under My Profile near the bottom right of every page not already achieve that?
