Subscribe to tag from /manage/circle/add or manage/circle/edit

Title:
Subscribe to tag from /manage/circle/add or manage/circle/edit

Area:
reading filters, tags

Summary:
I want to be able to subscribe to someone's tags when I add them to my circle, I don't want to have to go to the manage subscription filters page to subscribe to a tag.

Description:
When I select that I am subscribing instead of giving access, I'd love it if the same "Show only content that ..." options that are available on the filters page would appear on the manage circle page.

This (I am guessing, I haven't looked at the code to determine if this is true) would have the benefit that one could subscribe to the rated/tagged entries on your default reading list without having to create a Default View filter, which doesn't appear to really work at the moment, anyway.

The drawback is that it would make an already complicated form even more complicated, so people might never use the options.

a Default View filter, which doesn't appear to really work at the moment, anyway.

I'm agnostic about the suggestion, but I'm popping in to say that the default filter does work; I've been using one since about five seconds after reading filters went live. You have to name your filter Default View (with that exact spelling, spacing, and capitalization), and it will appear as your reading page. But once you've done that, there's then no way AFAIK to see your whole, unfiltered reading page, except by creating another filter that includes every journal you've subscribed to.

Maybe you knew this, and meant something more functional by "work." But fwiw, it works at least that much!

ETA: You know what else works? Closing your HTML tags, that's what works. Oops!

I'd suggest hiding them under a "more options" AJAX-y button, or something similar, so it doesn't complicate the form further.
