The thing is, this change isn't an all around win, there is the loss of being able to resume following a topic from where you left off following; instead, we now have to do additional navigation.  

I'm happy to help you navigate these challenges and find a solution that works for you and your investments.Please note that I am currently on paternity leave and spending less time on BiggerPockets, but would love to help however I can.
