How do I subscribe to a post without having to post on it?

**doug z** · 01-26-2008, 10:42 PM

Sometimes I post something, or reply in a thread, and forget to do the "instant email notification" thingy (which doesn't work, btw)..

I'm looking all over for that option (clicking on something that will put the thread on my subscription list), but I can't seem to find it..

Anyone?

from memory it is in your user cp, you can activate it there

How?

I go there to view posts I've subscribed to..

Where do I go once I've clicked on a thread I want to subscribe to?

it should say subcribe with notification from e mail

i will have a look now for you wait a sec

right go to cp and in there you will see a line saying view subcribe threads

open that and then you will see a box saying instant

click the box and it will send you an email whenever someone replies to the thread

hope this works

Doug, I think you just click on the email notifications. Altho it doesn't work, those threads should still go in your subscribed list. I ended up disabling mine some time ago but I think that's where it was at.

To go to my CP I'd have to leave the thread, though..

And how would you get access to that thread in your CP if you aren't subscribed to it?

See the dilemma? :)

Like I say, I know how to subscribe to threads when I make a post, but nowhere on the thread page is there an option to subscribe to it, unless you post on it..

If that's not an option on this site, that's ok..

I just thought there'd be an option for that somewhere..

I have always said this forum needs the button above that says "read new posts to me". A person misses a lot of posts written to them by also having to hunt and peek to find them. That would require a reply button under each post but it sure is easier that way.

Well, I always subscribe to posts that I have anything to do with, when I remember..

But when I forget, THEN I have to chase them down and see if there's a reply to my post..

It'd be nice, if, once I track it down again, I could subscribe to it..

I guess I'll just make some inane comment so I can subscribe the way I know how to.. :)
