Cannot Follow Topics

I recently applied to several games, and set Roll20 to let me follow several topics within them in order to follow applications. However, none of those topics appear in my list of followed topics, and have not since I set them to be followed. It is now extremely difficult for me to relocate these games again. Is this an issue with my Browser (Chrome) or is it something else?

I've only ever been able to Follow threads in the Forums, not in Games. Did you find the games in the LFG forums, or though the LFG tool? If you receive an Invitation to a game, you'll get a Notification. If you don't get an Invitation, you will not get a Notification. 
If you are talking about the game's LFG forum: My understanding is that the topics in a game's LFG forum are accessible only while the LFG function is active for that game (except for the game's creator who can access any time). Even if you are a player in the game, once the LFG is inactive (i.e. enough players are found or the Creator turned it off) you do not have access to the forum topics. If you are talking about the game detail page (Recent Game Discussion) forum: You cannot read the topics unless you are a player in the game, or, public access is enabled for the game. Hope that helps
Hey Andrew (without the R haha) Just wanting to chime in and confirm the information folks have provided thus far. This is a known limitation with the LFG tools and our forums. The current workaround is to maintain a list of links to applications in order to refer back to. I realize this isn't ideal, but can help in a pinch

Comment @ Roll20  Last year (2021) when Roll20 surveyed users and heard the result that people want it to be Easier to connect to games, to find games, to get into games... This  is one good example of the kind of practical Fix that we're asking for. Fixing THIS would be a helpful step towards that expressed User desire. Something like "Allow Applicants to Follow LFG threads" My Question is --- do we need to make a new Suggestion Thread to ask for that improvement vs this known limitation?  What verbiage would address this need, directly, to get on the radar of the Devs? Is this on the future calandar of Roll20 Devs at all yet? "Allow applicants to follow LFG threads". Drespar said: This is a known limitation with the LFG tools and our forums.
