Any (non email) way to "watch" a subject

[Max Romantschuk]

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? ;)

Use the forums "add bookmark" feature ;-)

So still a no... Because that's another separate screen to watch, unless I add a bookmark every time I reply to something. Darn.

The RSS feed at least allows you to watch a sub forum, might that help?

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! ;)

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:

Notify 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.

just write something like "that's cool!!!" or "i want a kit!" in the threads you wanna watch ;)
