subcribing to a question

[jack daniels]

Hi all, when you subscribe to a question - what are you actually doing?
The section where you 'tick' subscribe to this thread - again what does this mean?
Thanks to all in advance.

It means you get notified whenever someone adds to the thread. You can unsubscribe whenever you like.

Thanks for asking this question, being new here was unsure too.

Thanks Hellie,
I've subscribed to a thread a while ago but wasn't notified or anything, even though there were loads more info on this particular question, so I wondered what it was supposed to do.

Tsk, I suggest you email the very very busy AB Ed then jack, it sounds like the team are doing little more than twiddling their thumbs back there these days :)

I've tried subscribing to plenty of questions and not been notified. It doesn't work.

I only get notifications for my own questions.

[jack daniels]

Same here Koster - the only ones I've known about are the answers to the questions I've asked too.
Thanks again Hellie - shall have to put a stop to the thumb twiddling then! lol : )
