Thank you. Unfortunately, unless I've missed something I don't think there's anything in there that will change the order of threads displayed on "Manage Followed Content". All of what I have so far found seems to be pushing everyone to learning how to personalise the Activity Streams instead.

Hopefully I am not misreading what you’ve said.  Have you tried:

True, but under Manage Followed Content, once you have made all the selections as to how you want to be notified and saved it, you never need to go back to that page. Just bookmark your activity stream and it will be in the order you're used to.

I wouldn't quite say I'm a rocket scientist, just a frustrated CC user who spent more time than I should have trying to figure out how this works! You may need to tweak some of the selections to make it work the way you want it to, but at least you'll be able to see all your threads in one place with the unread posts highlighted.

I'd done that, but as far as I can see the Activity Stream does not list subscribed forums. Hence my preference to try to use Managed Followed Content because it's a relatively easy toggle between subscribed threads and subscribed forums.

 

My first preference would still have been to have something corresponding to the old User CP, which also showed when a subscribed forum did or did not contain unread posts.
