Max Romantschuk Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Whenever I reply to a thread I can follow any further discussion through the "Show new replies to your posts." -page. But what if I wanted to follow a thread the same way without replying? The notify feature seems to send emails, but that's not what I'm after. So am I stuck replying to a thread whenever I want to keep track of it? Or have I missed some unnecessarily small and ambiguous icon somewhere? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Use the forums "add bookmark" feature ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Romantschuk Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 So still a no... Because that's another separate screen to watch, unless I add a bookmark every time I reply to something. Darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The RSS feed at least allows you to watch a sub forum, might that help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Romantschuk Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well, seems s1:s point was that I could turn on notification by default for threads I post in. That way I'd get what I want in one place. Unfortunately that place seems to be email, and not a page listing like the "Show unread posts since last visit." -page. Can't have it all, I guess! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Heh not quite - it's the third option down, right under that :)When sending notification of a reply to a topic, send the post in the email If that's unchecked you just get a PM. Of course you could still be emailed if you have that preference set:http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4659;sa=pmprefsNotify by email every time you receive a personal message:Anyway I didn't want to go into too much detail because IMO Mike already said the best way - RSS.
