Sometimes I'm slow, I just figured this one out. So in case you didn't know this, you can automatically subscribe to threads that you post in.

Go to User CP -> Edit options

Then under "Default Thread Subscription Mode" you can choose one of the options and save. If you choose "No Email Notification," you will still be able to see them anytime you click on the control panel.

I'm going to make this the default on new user signup...No notification, instead of do not subscribe.

I can't believe it! lol

i accidently found that out about a week ago. and i'm in no way computer literate!

I think it's a cool feature. I only discovered it when I joined another forum that uses the same software and noticed when I went into the CP, all the threads I posted in were there. :)

Tom,

That's a cool tip. And also, for those that didn't know, if you post using the advanced mode you have an option of subscribing to that specific thread.

can someone explain to me "subscribe to a thread"? I'm clueless on that one..lol

It just means that if you start a thread or reply to an existing one, you have the option of being notified whenever someone else replies to that thread.

Ok, I get it now. that's cool. thanks Tom.

There is also another aspect.

You can choose to be notified by email of replies, either instantly, daily or weekly.
