Subscribing to threads

[DJZ]

Whenever I post in a thread it appears that it doesn't auto subscribe me so I never get notified that there are new posts, is this normal? If I had the subscribe button it works.

do you mean you dont get email notifications about new posts? i had this happen to me. heres a thread about it http://www.nzdatsun.com/forums/viewtopi ... =14&t=1168" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

make sure you have the notify me of new posts box ticked when you post, which should help

It doesnt auto subscribe for me either. But when you first create the thread there is an option to subscribe just above the submit button.

Either that or as you prob already know you can then subscribe when looking at your post in the thread.

But still it caught me out at first too.

no, it shouldnt auto-subscribe you.....or some people that posts here heaps would get 50 emails a day.

you have to manually subscribe to the threads you wish to

Actually I misunderstood the original post.

I thought he was talking about when creating a thread, not posting in one.

It should auto subscribe you or notify you on your own threads without needing to tick the box.

Minor issue

I would hate it if it auto subscribed me to every thread I started.

Many forums I frequent work that way.
Also remember you only get ONE email to say there are posts on a thread until you next visit, not one for every post so it usually is not an issue

All goods either way.

the less BS spam in my inbox the better.

Im happy to check all the theads with little orange boxes beside them

leave it the way it is

Ahh I see, that's alright. It auto subscribes you on most of the other forums I visit which is pretty handy when you don't look at them every day.

Thanks guys!
