Stuart, you are are referring to paid subscriptions at the Apple Store.
I am referring to simply getting onto this Apple Discussion Community message board to review the posts which one has authored or is following, with its evolving updates in Dec 2018.
This is what I learned, in summary for new learners like myself, from this
conversation in relation to my question:
Rather than signing in first thing and then seeing one's name to reach "manage subscriptions" which allows for the filtering of categories into: authored, participating, all, etc. Now, unless I am mistaken one takes this route: go to 'Apple Discussion Communities' > by filling in the search tab > goes to log-in > logging in and then
posting at 'create a new post' > one's name appear next to the post > clicking one's name (at the bottom of what appears there is a tab 'view profile')> in profile at the
top are the choices: 'profile' and 'manage subscriptions' > clicking 'manage subscriptions' the symbol for 'filter' is there and clicked appear the choices: authored, participated, following, etc.
Also learned that once 'manage subscriptions' (on this message board) are accessed, one can filter and choose 'following' and by the same procedure just described, clicking the person's name ..... profile ... subscriptions, read what they have responded to on other matters, and thereby learn from people that one finds easier to read and understand.
In summary, we are each talking about different 'subscriptions.'
