content: How do I follow a thread on the forum without commenting on it so it pops up under "Show new replies to your posts".I know there's the "notify" option but that just sends you a message saying the thread has been added to.Any easy way?

content: +1 to TautechQuote from: BravoV on July 31, 2017, 06:22:49 amThat's a lousy way to unsubscribe and if people do that and remove posts with content that was relevant to the discussion before the thread jumped the shark, older threads end up so full of holes they look like swiss cheese. If you *MUST* 'unsubscribe' its probably best to simply ignore the whole topic rather than removing your own posts.Edit: Tautech beat me to it with the 'ignore topics' link.

content: Quote from: MarkS on July 31, 2017, 05:50:55 amI don't think that this is equivalent to following a thread which you have participated in. The "Notify" function will send you an email every time there is activity in the thread, won't it? That does not work for me, as it clutters my Inbox.Seeing updated topics of interest whenever I check the "new replies to your posts" list is much preferrable for me. But I don't think there is a way to get a thread into that list without actually posting. Which is a pity!
