hi - new here, and still finding my feet, but bugger me here are a lot of posts here! thats cool, but they seem very hard to search. i searched purely in the help setion for "subscribe thread" thinking i would get a thread of someone asking "how do you subscribe to a thread?" but found over 100 threads, none of which looked likely to tell me how to subscribe to a thread. i still dont know how to subscribe to a thread.
if the titles of the initial posts were useful, itwould be a lot easier to find what you are after. i saw one with the title "help!". what the hell use is that?
ps how do you subscribe to a thread?
a concept i havent seen anywhere yet is if the original poster edits his first post - the original question - with the answer to his own question.

To subscribe to an existing thread as you have done is just click on Post a Reply.

To create a new thread for instance in this particular forum FORUMS INFO, HELP, DISCUSSION & FEEDBACK just click on forum heading in the Forums Index page and click on the New Thread button and just remember you must give it a Title.

Creating a new thread doesn't auto-subscribe, does it? Nor does simply posting a reply...

It doesn't for me, anyway, and AFAIK I've never gone into UserCP or anywhere to set something to not auto-subscribe me. :think:

As to how to subscribe to any any existing thread, it's just a case of going up to the tool bar, selecting thread tools and... well... subscribing. :roll:

Mike, there was a lot of posts in 2003, now there are more than 600,000. Once you get used to the forum search feature it works, even if it is a little clunky.

No 1 - To put in your 2 bobs worth as i am doing to your thread, you just click on post reply, - bottom left corner or top left corner of the list of posts.

No 2 - To add the original post that you are relating too as i have done click on "quote" then type your 2 bobs worth under that or insert in another colour into the "quoted" post. (you can also delete some of the quoted post if you want to but you must leave the start and finish in the [ ] brackets so that is shows in the "greyed" colour) - Bottom right corner of each post

No 3 - To add multi original posts that you are relating too click on the symbol to the right of the quote button on each post you want to include then click on post reply as in explanattion no. 1

Hope this helps
