Subscribe to forum functionality
(OP)
Hi all,
Apologies for this general forum question... I've searched the FAQs and elsewhere on Eng-Tips and can't find any information.
Does the "subscribe to forum" functionality, accessed from the top RH corner "Forums" tab --> "Subscribe to Forums" not work? I've tried it multiple times without any confirmation that it's actually doing anything.
I was hoping to subscribe and receive an automated email for each new thread in this forum.
Thanks,
Ewan

As 3D Dave says subscribing to forum just adds it to your thread minder I believe.
there are tools for indicating in the thread minder where activity has occurred.

There's a box titled "Notify Me" with the text included, that says, on this page:
"Who's Marked This Thread?

Click here to mark this thread for e-mail notification."
It works. I get emails whenever new posts show up in threads I've hit the button on.

JNieman,
Thanks... however, what I was looking for was functionality that sends an email notification when a new thread is posted to the forum, not when a new reply is posted to a thread.
Cheers,
Ewan
