Subscribing to threads

Options
Sorry, this is probably the wrong place to post this - if so, please move it!

I can't work out how to subscribe to threads. In the past I was automatically subscribed to threads that I posted on, but that has stopped. I'm not even subscribed to ones that I start.

Please can someone tell me how to subscribe, now that I can't do it by simply posting.

Thanks!

    I know you use the thread tools drop down to subscribe - once you have opened the post, but is there an easy way to find a post you have made?

    The techies made some changes a while back. Here is what happened.
    1. From 10pm this Thursday, October 8th, we are taking the Forum down for an hour to delete a large number of old subscriptions - every thread that hasn't been updated for 6 months of more will have it subs removed.

    2. We are going to switch everyone's automatic thread subscription setting to "Do not subscribe". If you want to change this,. you will need to go into your User CP - Edit Options - Messaging & Notification section and change the setting back.

    You can change the default behaviour back by doing this:

    Go to your Edit Options page and set:

    But I don't want any e-mail notifications. I just want to be able to find it by using the Quick Links drop down. Is there a way of doing this?

    Took me ages to find this thread again as I didn't subscribe!

    Set the automatic subscription option to the "No email notification" and bingo! :)
