Hello,
I cannot figure out the subscription feature. I thought the whole purpose of the so called OST was to add the thread to the subscriptions folder. I had replied an actual response to a thread in the SF and and I had to hit subscribe separately. Then there was a thread in GD which I wanted to come back to, and I couldn't find the subscribe button. What am I doing wrong? Forgive me, I', a 6 year lurker who finally signed up.

You have to have a membership to tag threads.

The old school tagging method was used by board members to search for threads they've posted in. Searching by reply or topic author is a feature of paid accounts. There are differences in the subscription system between paid accounts and free accounts. Free accounts cannot subscribe on all boards(General for example), have fewer results shown on their subscriptions list, no default to Disable Automatic subscriptions, Subscribe without Email Notifications, or Subscribe with Email Notifications, no ability to Change the Subscription Option at the time of posting (Do Not Add to Subscribe List, Without Email Notification, Subscribe With Email Notification). If the subscribe button isn't present then you are in a community, i.e. General, that you do not have access to the subscription system for. As a free account you have to subscribe to threads manually and set the email option to on. On your subscriptions page threads that you want to receive email updates from should show this symbol  not this one  Just click to switch.Additionally threads you have created are available under MyTopics subscriptions=threads you have subscribed to, via posting or marking as subscribed. My Topics=threads you have started My Board =forums you have marked as such will show up as a custom community for you under MyBoard Active Topics=Topics most recently posted in. |
