    As far as I know, if you subscribe to a thread, you are notified via email when there is a new post.

    On other forums I'm on, I have the option of what kind of subscription I have for each thread. For example, no email notification, instant email notification, daily notification etc.

    Personally I like to subscribe to threads but don't like the notification emails. Reason being because I find it good to go into my UCP and see if there are any new posts to threads I have posted on.

    Also, it's good to be able to go back to a really old thread if necessary by just going into my UCP rather than having to search for the thread name if I can't remember what it was called.
    Easy that way.


    Just my 2c anyway.

    Sadly as phpbb isn't designed to work in this way then it isn't going to change. It's a lot of work for a option that's hardly ever used. Phpbb is designed to be for large forums where users check back quite often.

    I have currently disabled dotted topics which show when you have replied to a topic due to it causing high load on our cheap servers. Really slowed the forum down.

    Not much more I can say really?

    Ah that's cool terro. I suppose I could just use my old email address so it doesn't clash with important stuff. I will be able to look back in the UCP at older threads when I've been here for a while, that's all I wanted it for really.

    Sorted bro :thumbsup:

    I know what you're saying about it all but if you didn't already know, to the top right of the page is 'view your posts' which will list all the posts you have posted on, and when they are updated etc.
