(Or should that be pprently, one? :dubious: )

Spooky, or what?!

Thank you. _Thank you._ That was extreemly embarrasing.
So what, hardly anybody but me subscribes to virtually every thread they post in? Heck, I add a sub every time I make a reply to anything, in addition to subscribing to various other threads which I merely watch. Guess I’m more obsessive/compulsive than the average bear. No big surprise.
**Trunk** , what it means is you get an email notification every time someone posts. If it’s working right, which it has been for me since the last upgrade, you only get ONE notification until you go visit the thread again. (Formerly, you’d get a notification for every. single. reply, which tends to clutter up the inbox a bit when you subscribe to, say, “What if someone else had written Lord of the Rings?”)

Three, apparently. I can’t stand e-mail notification of anything - my inbox is cluttered enough.
Can I ask why you feel the need to subscribe to everything you post to? Just curious.

Zero. If I want to know if there has been action on a thread I am interested in, I’ll come here and look. My mailboxs are jammed enough as it is.

Learn a new thing every day. Now that I know about subscription I still don’t plan to use it. That must kill tons of hamsters.

707 threads. My default is on subscribe (if there’s a way to change that default, I dunno).

After five years and almost 2000 posts, I’ve never subscribed to a thread. I just check the boards.
