The changes to the story archive look good. I think they will be useful going forward. If I could, I'd like to suggest a couple of additions that, at least for me, might be useful:  first, I'd love to see an "obvious" option to unfollow a story. Sometimes I find that an author takes a story in a direction that quickly makes me lose interest. Secondly, I'd really love to see an option to exclude certain categories, i.e. poetry, anything involving aliens, wizards or weirwolves, etc. Personally, I'd also welcome the ability to hide all content from certain authors. I'm a retired newspaper editor and while I can read past an occasional error in grammar, spelling or sentence structure, there are some authors that don't have a clue. In a couple cases, I've even offered to help them and was told to go take a flying leap off the nearest tall building. I know nothing about what goes on under the hood to make this site operate so maybe my ideas are not possible. I just wanted to throw them out there for consideration. Thanks.

I've found there are two ways one follows stories:

1. On the Main Story Page, if you had clicked the White Follow Button, it would turn blue as a Followed Button. If you click that, there is an option to Unfollow the story.

2. On the Main Story Page, if you had given a "reaction" like a Blue Thumb's Up, or a Heart, or something else. Removing that will unfollow the story for you too.

I hope that helps.

EDIT: Of course, if had done both, you need to remove both.

Thanks. I think I've tried your first suggestion before but it didn't seem to work, might have been a glitch on my end. I'll go back and try that again. ☺️

There is also the Manage followed section under account. Content Stories section.

Selecting genres seemed to work,  however nothing I clicked under categories seemed to work. Nothing got highlighted nor did a check mark appear beside it as shown in your example. Oh well, I can't win them all.

The all box is NOT checked. 

When I click the categories button everything under that is greyed out including the select option and all of the options under it.

I am using the latest version of Chrome. I've also done some more checking. I had thought maybe the problem was that I was trying to set things up on my Android tablet so I switched to my desktop. When I signed into my account, and went to the stories tab, the only button selected (highlighted) was the sorting button. None of my previously selected choices under genre were selected and while I could select them again, when I clicked on category, again everything is greyed out. I also found that when I signed out and then back in, again nothing was saved. I went back to the tablet and had the same result, nothing saved. Also as an FYI, I have made sure I did NOT click on the reset button (the minus sign.)
