Thread subscriptions update

We have updated our default subscription setting to reflect changing internet habits and the growth of the forum - most people nowadays simply don't want to get an email for every single thread they have posted in.

So we have changed the default thread subscription setting from 'instant notification' to 'weekly notifications'. All users 'subscribed threads' lists have also been wiped clean.

Now, instead of getting an email whenever a thread that you are subscribed to (which happens when you reply to the thread) has a reply posted in it, instead you just get a weekly update of such threads.

If this is not to your taste you can turn it off completely (and then just choose individual threads you want such notifications for), or change it to:

- Instant notification
- Daily notifications

Just go to your control panel and change the Default Thread Subscription Mode and then hit save. You may also want to check your subscribed threads list from time to time to remove any threads you are no longer interested in

Re: Thread subscriptions update

Azz I haven't changed any settings in my control panel and I never subscribe to any threads but note all my posts are now automatically subject to weekly subscriptions.

Re: Thread subscriptions update

Yup... everyone's has been changed so if you want to change it back to 'do not subscribe' you will have to do so manually I'm afraid.

Unfortunately there wasn't an easy way to only change it selectively so it had to be changed for everyone..

Re: Thread subscriptions update

Thanks Azz. I have changed mine to 'Instant notifications' which, I assume, will put things back to how they were - for me anyway.

Re: Thread subscriptions update

Why have all my subscribed threads disappeared? It says the folder is empty.
