I have been having this problem even before the site was updated.

When I reply to a thread I have it set to where it will automatically subscribe me to that thread, but on a few occasions it doesn't work and I don't realize it til I am browsing the forums and see a thread that I thought I had subscribed to with new responses that have missed....what's going on? I just had another incidence where I had to manually subscribe to a thread that I just posted a reply to.

Answers anyone? Confused geek here...

Still having problems...can anyone help????

I thought you had to manually subscribe to threads by pressing thread tools and clicking on subscribe to this thread.

How does the board know which threads you want to subscribe to otherwise. Or is this something else I havent found yet LOL.

I did an article about subscribing to threads ... click here

You can also change your default subscription option by Quick Links->Edit Options.
The site will save up and post subscription notifications periodically. Interim visits between wont trigger off new email notifications. Also, if you are on the weekly digest version, you will only get it once a week.

Nope...not talking about email notifications. I'm speaking of when you post to a thread and you automatically get a subscription to that thread so that you can see it when you go to userCP > List subscriptions...or whenever you go to userCP to see which threads that you have contributed to has new posts (right above where you check your rep at) and IF you decided to subscribe to any threads....

Am I making sense yet?

Thats the same system

I know exactly what you mean Mrs M, and have had the same happen to me. I have my 'Default Thread Subscription Mode' set to automatically subscribe to any thread I post in, but not to send me a notification (I check if there's been any new replies to subscribed threads in User CP).

But every so often (about 20% of the time) I reply to a thread, and for reason the system doesn't automatically subscribe as its set to do, and I have to go hunting and manually subscribe.

At first I figured I was accidentally choosing in the post not to subscribe but made a point of going through it very carefully and it still happened.

this occasionally happes to me too - i have also changed the option to subscribe automatically but it doesnt always happen. I have also noticed that any threads i have replied or subscribed to do dont always show as green when i click on new posts.

huh. Ill check it out

Hi Sam

Dont worry - we are not complaining - you have made this web site so good with you techi gadgets - they are like new toys to play with.

Where would we be without you!

EXACTLY!!!!!!!! I have had to resort to going up to thread options right after I post to make sure that my subscription stuck....Glad it's not just me...or my computer, I was starting to get worried!!

Any head way yet Sam???

I have also noticed...just a few minutes ago that when you reply to a thread and your subscription doesn't automatically kick in, you don't get geekmolians for that particular post....
