View Full Version : Easier 'Following' to Threads

So when I was in year 5 or something I used to go on TamaTalk and it had plenty of forums about I can't remember, Tamagotchis and stuff.

Anyway, I think the way the forums work on this thing can be slightly altered. I'm the kind of person which likes to follow the threads I post on, just in case somebody is talking about my opinion and doesn't quote or if it's got something interesting I don't know and/or want to know.

My suggestion is that on all threads you post on, you will immediately be following/subscribed to it. If someone else does post afterwards, you will be notified instead of having to remember to subscribe to every single thread you post in. Or for those which don't like being cluttered with notifications, just a place where you can change it so you have to manually follow the thread. Yes? No? Does that already happen? idk.

I really don't think thats necessary. if you want to subscribe to a thread just click on Thread Tools and subscribe.

I thought it might be slightly more convenient for lazy people like myself.

If I understand correctly what you want, if you go here (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions), and scroll town to the "Messaging and Notification" section, you'll see "Default Thread Subscription Mode" If you turn that on, that should notify you automatically.

If I've misunderstood you, do let me know.

Second suggestion on the same topic, what about new post news within VT's notifications? As opposed to solely email based subscriptions, as I barely use email.
