O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted August 14, 2012 When you "follow" a topic it adds the thread to your subscribed threads section. I'm not sure how that is shown on pc but it's pretty handy on the iPad. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted August 14, 2012 I have assumed that i would receive replies to the ones that i push "follow." This is a great question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted August 14, 2012 One feature of the site is that it automatically "follows"/"subscribes" you to any thread that you participate in. If you want to "follow" a thread that you didn't post in then click follow and it will add it to your "new content" tab. Sorry I didn't explain it better. I had to open the forum in safari and play with it a minute to understand it better. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted August 14, 2012 If you want email alerts to threads or certain things, you have to change it in your settings. I get emails only when someone "likes" one of my posts. I turned off all the other email alerts because I was getting too many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
