Subscribing to a Thread Question

[ukerduker]

What is enabled when I "subcribe" to a thread? Does this send emails when a new response is posted?

I subscribed to a thread awhile back and I saw no differences.

Just curious...

Yes, but depending on who you get your email through you may not ever see the notifications. Some ISPs block them as spam. Google Gmail doesn't, so I recommend that people use it.

Well it can send you e-mails, but not necessarly.

It depends on what you set in your user Control Panel as the default and you can override that when you make an actual post.

Click on User CP > Edit Options

This is where you can choose default thread subscription choice when you make a reply to a thread.

The choices are :

• Do not Subscribe
  
• No e-mail notification
  
• Instant e-mail notification
  
• Daily e-mail notification
  
• Weekly e-mail notification
  

So it depends on which opition you choose how soon (or if) you will get an e-mail when a post is made to a subscribed thread.

When you reply to a thread though, you can scoll down to Additional Options >Thread Subscription and override you default for this one particular thread.
