Using My CollectingFriends

This is your own personal page on CollectingFriends.com. You can use it to subscribe to dynamic feeds showing just the infrmation you want, on the categories you’re interested in.

For example, say you wanted to be aware of every new article about Train Sets, as soon as it was published.

1. Click the link in the left-hand menu to go to the My CollectingFriends page.
2. Open the preferences pull-down by clicking on the downward-facing arrow towards the top of the page.
3. Under the Preferences heading, check Articles.
4. Under the Category preferences heading, expand the Toys tree, then expand the Trains tree and check Train Sets.
5. Click the Update button and you’re done.

You will now see a window titled CF – Articles. Within this window will be listed the five most recently published/updated articles relating to Train Sets.

You can expand or collapse a window by clicking the small arrowhead button towards its top right corner.

You can rearrange windows by clicking and dragging their title bar.

You can close a window by clicking its close button (the small button in its top right-hand corner, marked with an X). Remember, if you do this the relevant window (in this case, Articles) will be removed from your My Collecting Friends preferences. To resinstate it you would need to repeat the above steps.

Remember, the more specific you are when setting your preferences, the fewer results you are likely to get.
