How to subscribe to a thread

[[-Susanne-]]

First of all, I recommend that you set your subscription preferences on your user profile. To do this follow the steps below:

1- Go to your "User CP"

2- Go to "Edit Options"

3- Set your preferences for "Messaging & Notification"

4- Don't forget to scroll down the page and click the http://inlinethumb37.webshots.com/41380/2537335720103622455S425x425Q85.jpg button at the end.

By setting these preferences you can opt whether or not to be automatically subscribed to any thread that you post to.

If you always visit the forums from the same computer, it might be useful to save the URL of a thread to your browser favorites. This is an easy way to create direct access to a particular thread without the need for you even to be a registered member of the forum or logged in.


I'm going to explain how to do it in the 2 most popular browsers:


With Mozilla Firefox:
1- Click on "bookmarks" in your browser menu
http://inlinethumb08.webshots.com/41351/2026396860103622455S425x425Q85.jpg

2- Select "bookmark this page"

3- Write the name you want for this page and select the folder. Finally click on "ok".


With Internet Explorer:
1- Click on "favorites" in your browser menu
http://inlinethumb53.webshots.com/9524/2737869420103622455S425x425Q85.jpg

2- Select "add to favorites"

3- Write the name you want for this page and select the folder. Finally click on "add".

Follow the steps below for the quickest way to see all your thread subscriptions. Previously you need to be subscribed to a thread, otherwise, this list will be empty. :p

1- Click on "quick links" on the top menu
http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/41599/2670606630103622455S600x600Q85.jpg

2- Select "subscribed threads"
http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/32595/2939095630103622455S425x425Q85.jpg

3- You will be redirected to your user CP to see the links to the threads.


Also... every time you visit your user CP the http://inlinethumb35.webshots.com/36258/2036973760103622455S425x425Q85.jpg list will appear.


To see all the subscriptions click on "list subscriptions" option.

Note that you can organize your subscriptions into folders. The default folder is called "subscriptions" but you can set up to 4 more folders by clicking on "edit folders" option.

Another tip! You can decide if you want to subscribe to a thread or not every time you post. Click on http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/40495/2188518110103622455S425x425Q85.jpg when replying, scroll down the page to see the additional options:

Set your preferences for that specific post early to submit the reply.

You can also be interested to read a thread that you still have not posted. You can do this by clicking on "thread tools" in the top thread menu:
http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/41759/2500363980103622455S600x600Q85.jpg

Then, click on "subscribe to this thread":
http://inlinethumb39.webshots.com/39718/2983920270103622455S425x425Q85.jpg

It would ask you the subscription type you prefer and the folder for that subscription.

Finally, click on "add subscription" and that's done ;)
