    I'm enjoying the forum quite a lot but I've got just one issue. I want to be auto-subscribed to every thread that I reply to & get those replies in my personal email inbox. Its a drag to have to micro manage that.

    Is it possible to make the system here work like other forums, so that if I want to subscribe to a specific thread, I get to choose to do so myself, instead of being automatically subscribed to everything I reply to?

    I don't want to set all emails from TASS as spam, but I might have to if that technical issue can't be resolved. I've already unsubscribed from all threads but of course as soon as I reply to any other one, or someone replies to this one, the flood will resume. Any ideas?

    Go to USER CP at top of screen

    Select "Edit options" to the left

    Scroll down to the box where is talks about "Default Thread Subscription Mode" and select "DO NOT SUBSCRIBE"

    You will no longer subscribe to anything you reply to.

    Jy's a bietjie stadig Ferryman....

    I've also reached the stage where I have my outlook set to just delete any mail from Tropical Aquarium, UNLESS it has a PM in the subject line...
