Subscribtion to a thread

[zarakand]

I'm not quite sure what other forum to post this in, so I'll stick this in here.

Quite often, I will stop getting e-mail notices that a thread has been updated. I have not clicked on the stop notifying me regarding this thread link, and have followed the link in the e-mail that states "until you click on this link no further notices will be sent to you"

Any body have an idea as to why this is, and what I can do to rectify it?

What happens is the forum will send you out an email:

Topic Reply Notification - (the thread name you are watching)

and a link in it to click on to go to the last post in that thread when the email notification was sent to you.

If you DO NOT click on that link the forum will assume you do not wish to watch the topic anymore. This is so you don't get spammed from all the new replies in that thread. Some threads have 830 replies to them and I'm sure you wouldn't be happy getting 800 Topic Reply Notification's. haha.

So if you want to keep watching that topic just click on the link and it will take you to the last reply and again send you a Topic Reply Notification email when that topic is replied to again.

Did that help or make it clear as mud?

Sorry to say that it did not help, since that is exactly what I am doing.

Hummm...

You could just reply to the thread and it will watch it again.

Sorry I don't have a better solution right now but I'll work on it for you.

I got it.

At the bottom of the thread page (where the page 1 of X is) it reads:

Watch this topic for replies

Just click on that and ta-da!!

If you are already watching that topic is says:

Stop watching this topic

Click on which option you want for that thread.
