Question: problem keeping up with "followed" topics

I opted out of emailed notices of new posts in topics I follow to avoid the frequent duplications. I expected that I'd find new posts in those topics by clicking the "New Content" tab. New posts are added to all those topics, but "new content" shows me very few of them. That is, the same few reliably appear in "new content," while most never do.

Can this be remedied? Is there something I need to do to remedy it? I checked my subscription list and it's not a matter of my being mistaken as to my "follows."

Anyone?

If you click on your name you see several options...choose."content I follow" which will list all threads you have posted in unless you choose to unfollow.

Ooooh, eureka! You made me brave to click "options" at the little notifications tab up there and I fell into the "nofitication options" screen. I clicked a couple of things and should be alright from here on.

@@CowgirlJane -- That's what I've been doing as an interim solution, expecting that there'd be a perm solution.

Thank you kindly, both.

Don't know if you'll see this. The blue "best answer" box may submerge it.

I looked at Notifications Preferences page again and may have found my solution. I've now checked an additional box Can't remember its description, something about 'topics in followed forums.' I had checked 'replies to followed topics' earlier, but it went nowhere.

Update over. Thank you.
