What changes do you want to Subscriptions?

anarres · 06-09-2003, 15:45

I am about to change the Quick Reply box so that you auto-subscribe to threads when you use it. It will have a checkbox you can uncheck if you don't want to subscribe to the thread, just like the normal reply function (when you click 'Reply to Topic').

If you are subscribed to a thread you will get an email each time someone posts to that thread.

There are 2 possible enhancements I can make:

* The option to default the 'subscribe' checkbox to always be off. This means you won't automaticallly get subscribed when you reply to a thread.

* The option to not recieve emails to subscribed threads. You may want to track your subscriptions using the My Subscriptions link instead (top right of each page).

Sorry anarres, I didn't respond because I like the current situation. nyway: why not include both?

Include both I say, although I voted for the 2nd option. Sometimes it is a bit tiresome to clean up my mailprogram when I subscribe to a lot of active threads.

I'm addicted to subscription emails.
