PrincessKara - after you post, you can subscribe to the thread you posted on. Below "submit reply" you will see something that says Thread Subscription, and then Notification Type. You can choose how you want to be notified of new posts, if at all. At the top of the page click on "Quick Links" and then "Subscribed Threads" for a list of all threads you have subscribed to.

This info needs to be seen by everyone.
I am new to this board and I see alot of people who have been part of this site for a long time violating these very recommendations.

Please...if the only reason you're replying is to subscribe to the thread, there's a better way to do it. Click on the link "Thread Tools" that appears in the bar just above the top post on the page. From the drop-down menu select "Subscribe to this thread".

I clicked on the thread tools icon but it didnt say subscribe to this thread. Any one know what happened?

Dan Murphy · 07-05-2008, 05:26 PM

What choices were there when you clicked on Thread Tools?

You probably weren't logged in at the time. That has happened to me before - I've timed out and not realized it.

Dan Murphy · 07-06-2008, 06:20 PM

I agree, that is the reason, not logged in.

webster76 · 07-20-2008, 09:42 AM

I've been posting for a short time and must say I've learned a lot from this. I will try to do this next time I post something I want to keep up with. Thanks!

I hate to scroll through meaningless quoted posts to get to some good information. Bravo to you! I am now officially in your fan club!

MousekeMom · 01-18-2009, 05:47 AM

This is a GREAT Sticky!! I love the visual instructions as well. Thankfully, I already knew how to subscribe without replying to the thread, but sometimes doing searches were beyond my comprehension. LOL!

Now I can do it all by myself.

I have to admit that I have been guilty of "quoting" the original post even though there were only one or two posts...lol...never even thought about it.

I completely agree with the "bumps", "subscribing" posts...that drives me crazy, and when quoting a post.....it's crazy to include the pictures as well, unless you need it for your own reply. Thank you to the OP and others who have supplied info about this.

Type in the words that you are looking for or choose Advanced Search again to narrow your search by forum..
