You can disable all of the Feed notifications from the left column if you don't want to see any of them. Go to the Feed page here:

https://du4.democraticunderground.com/?com=feed

Uncheck every item in the left column and then hit the Save button.

Would be really nice if they'd use that useless "Feed Sidebar" real estate as a user-configurable links area, so that (for instance) I could put the search bar there, and the "My Posts" page link, and links to the forums I use most like "Editorials and Other Articles" and "Videos and Multimedia"... and maybe one or two of the ones I subscribe to.

You can't put a search bar or a My Posts link there, but I believe I already explained that any forum you subscribe to will be listed in the left column beneath the line "Susbcribed Forums" and that provides you with a direct one-click link to visit those forums.

While the Editorials & Other Articles and Videos & Multimedia are not currently listed while I consider their retirement, there is a workaround to resolve your very specific problem -- the forums can still be visited here:

https://du4.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1016

And here:

https://du4.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1017

If you subscribe to those forums they will appear in your left column navigation.
