Do you 'email subscribe' to threads?

[Neil]

Ive never subscribed to threads on any forums ive been on, to be honest it would just bug me That really surprises me!? So if you post say three new threads... Every time you logon, you have to manually hunt down those three threads, to see if/what the replies there are? But, if you've subscribed (say with no email), a single click when you logon to go into "User CP", tells you instantly if anyone has replied, to any of those posts... Job done... Just can't see any benefit of not subscribing, at least without email Surely you must waste so much time just checking up on threads, and miss so many posts that have been made to threads you forget to check? ps: How can subscribing (without email for example) bug you?

I don't understand this notion of getting a shedload of notifications, on a busy day at HPOTD I'll check my email and find I've got say anywhere under 25 to go through, but that's rare, usually it's under 15, and it takes me directly to all the responses I've got waiting, so I never miss the continuation of the threads, because guaranteed you're going to forget about some threads and then that's no good is it? It's nice and simple, takes you right to the response, and BOSH - job done. Then you can go and lurk around for new posts and threads you're not subscribed to as yet. I love the system.

Well i like checking myself, if i subscribed to every topic i posted in, my user cp would be rammed with notifications and i cant be bothered deleting them.. i never find time to delete my PM's as it As for email notification, im on alot of forums, if i used email notification i would get easilly 50+ emails a day, i would lose my important daily emails in that mass, again its finding time to sift through them all. it would just bug me is the short answer lol.

My default setting is to be subscribed with email. I like it because I can see whats been posted without actually wandering over to read. If it's some lame joke thats been posted on a serious thread, I haven't wasted my time coming back to reply. Anytime I'm done with a thread, I simply unsubscribe. No muss, no fuss.

I can't believe so many people don't subscribe in anyway! How do you know if after a week or so, if someone then replies to a thread you were involved with? Well, ever since you changed to this new board, a new post to a thread moves that thread to the top of the list, making it easy to see a new post has occured.

At a single click ("USER CP") you can see any reply to any thread you've been involved with... Seems to powerful an option to ignore Well, ever since you changed to this new board, a new post to a thread moves that thread to the top of the list, making it easy to see a new post has occured. Trust me, try subscribing (without email) and then just go into USER CP... It's rather useful!

Me to, I just don't go in for the email aspect of it...
