Subcribing to threads? (Technical BB question)

[phlogiston]

I've been having a bit of a poke around this 'ere message board, and I've noticed that somehow you can subscribe to threads. What does that mean, and how do you do it?

And this is to see if the censoring is turned on (no offense to anyone, this is scientific..)

He said bum! *giggle*

HAHAHAHAHA!

Seeing as people are replying to old threads today, I thought I'd reply to the oldest!

Well, it might not be the oldest, but it's the last one in the list.

Isn't anyone going to answer Phloggy's question, by the way? He's probably sick of waiting by now!

Subscribing means it gets sent to your mailbox whenever someone answers doesnt it?

*arse* tee hee

Goddamn, I saw my name next to this thread and though "What the fuck is going on here? I didn't post that."

But it turns out I did. So there you go.

It means that in your profile you can keep track of the threads - unfortunately, it also means you'll get an email everytime someone responds to it

This will change in the next version of vBulletin though, with plenty more options. Stay tuned!
