Do you subscribe to threads?

ValencianNails · **Do you subscribe to threads? -** 29-03-07, 09:45 PM

Being the nosey so and so that I am I thought I'd find out how many of you subscribe to threads

If you do subscribe to threads is it so you can find them again easily?

Is it because you like to know when there have been replies to threads you've participated in?

Is it because you like to follow a thread that you've not yet replied to but that you find is interesting?

If you don't yet subscribe to threads and want to then this article should help...
Lost your thread? Subscribe to them....

I have to admit to only recently realising that this could be done

.

I don't subscribe to many, but I guess that I have subscribed to threads for all of the reasons that you listed.
If I have started a thread and I have to go before I have had many replies I subscribe so that I can view it without having to look for it when I come back online.

Sometimes it will just be a thread that I am finding really interesting.

I have also subscribed to threads that have fab info in that I know I will want to be able to refer to in the future, then I won't need to do a search.

What about you then Sandi?

I do an auto subscription to all threads I reply to...
Plus, if I think a thread is interesting but I don't have anything to add to it (yet) then I subscribe to those.
It's also a handy Mod tool, if there's a thread that looks like it'll kick off then I subscribe to that too lol

So basically I subscribe to nearly everything lmao...
it takes a while to delete my out of date subscriptions sometimes!!!

Yep been doing it for ages, comes in really handy!!! Have to go through them though soon as not sure how many your allowed, but I have a quite a few!!!

oey · 29-03-07, 10:00 PM

Sure do!

I would be lost without subscribing to threads these days! I have automatically set up that I subscribe (without e-mail notification) to all threads that I post on and I quite often subscribe to threads that I want to follow too!

When I log onto Salon Geek the first place I go to is my User cp to review all my subscribed threads first before I look at any new ones.

If you do subscribe to quite a few threads - opt to not to be notified by e-mail as your inbox will soon become full with all the notification updates!

It sounds like you might as well just look at every thread Honey (especially at certain times of the month shall we say

)

Yes i normally subscribe to threads that i want to watch as i am interested in the replies it is going to get.

Sometimes though i do forget about the subscribe to thread option!

Tricky · 29-03-07, 10:54 PM

loubylou · 29-03-07, 11:57 PM

Yes i subscribe to the ones mainly where i have learnt something new, i subscribe so if i forget how to do it i can go back to it and find my answer, because i would never remember the title and be able to find it in a search
