Is there any way that I can be automatically subscribed to every thread I participate in? ---

I doubt it, assuming you looked through your “User CP.” It’s located along the top, those little blue buttons all in a row. What may work for you is to bookmark the search of your username. Meaning, Searchh for all posts by you, sort from recent to old, and bookmark. That way you can easily go back to the threads you’ve been in and see if anything’s going on. ---

As Troy McClure SF alluded to, in the user control panel there is this option: > [@](#): > > Use ‘Email Notification’ by default? > Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in. But I do not recommend that **anyone** use this option. Many people that do have then returned to ATMB to ask “how do I stop all these e-mails?”
