I normally don’t subscribe to any threads I don’t participate in, but today I decided to. Much to my surprise, the boards reported each and every thread I subcribed to from the beginning.

Go to the user control panel and click on “list subscriptions” under “subscribed threads.”

I have 967 (968 with this thread).

I just added #13 a few minutes ago. But I go through and weed out “dead” subscriptions every now and then.

This will be #14. 😃

1. Three are for info I may want later (SDMB WoW guild, for example), one for later amusement as I couldn’t be bothered to read it all at the time, and one for a smilie art post.
