2. Threads you've posted in
There's an option available to subscribe automatically to every thread that you post in. By default, this option is off until you turn it on. To turn it on:
Locate the
My Profile link at the upper left of any forums page.
Click it and it'll take you to a page titled "User Control Panel". By the way, if you're already subscribed to any threads, this page will list the ones that have had new replies since you last read them ("New Subscribed Threads" section at right).
In the left (
Your Control Panel) column, scroll down to the
Settings & Options section and click on the
Edit Options link.
On the "Edit Options" page, in the
Messaging & Notification section, locate the box titled
Default Thread Subscription Mode.
Select any option other than "Do not subscribe". Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the
Save Changes button.
