Subscribe to threads

[violet02]

It would be nice to be able to subscribe to threads that you''ve either posted in or are interested in following. So an email alert when someone has posted to a thread you''ve started or a notification on a thread you''re interested in following. I don''t always have a chance to keep up with all of the posts on here and it can be very hard to find them when you haven''t been on in a couple of days.

Hi Violet

We already have that feature, look to the top right and you will see a blue box which says subscribe - next to new topic reply subscribe , click and follow the instructions, check the box that says to your email account then thats all you need to do.

Also if you want to subscribe to a particular poster, look below a given username below the avatar and it says subscribe to author. Click on that and a pop up box appears, just tick to go to your email account and thats it!

To unsubscribe click on personal section, then track content, then subscription definitions, that will bring up the names of the persons or threads subscribed to then you can delete or manage as you wish.

The subscribe feature currently is glitching. Meaning it seems to work for some member and not for others particularly for newer members. I have not been able to figure out why yet. It appears to be a part of the limitation of the forum.

Hopefully I can make it work soon or we will have it as part of the new system.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
