to subscribe to a thread you just check of the subscription box towards the bottom. It is one of the options

"Email Notification" is what you should be looking for. Is it not there at all?

This kind of negates using the nifty new reply box at the bottom of the screen as no check box exists.

I am at a loss?

Shokhead, you can turn off ALL subscriptions in your User CP. The quick reply is for thoes who want to get in a fast comment, you can still use the traditional reply form by clicking on the "post reply" button.

So, I take it, the subscription is automatic?

Some are working automatically and some are not.

Greg, no, subscriptions are set wtih your user CP, I have mine turned off, if you have yours on, you will be subscribed to the thread when you use the quick reply. By using the advanced reply page, you have the option at that time to turn off subscriptions. I'll add the old subscription link soon, i need to find the correct code :)

Shok, I'll see what i can do.

I've gone to the Edit Options and find no CP option.

I feel like the dumb kid in class raising his hand. Painful flashback.

CP = Control Panel.

You were already there and didn't know it!

Don't feel dumb, I did a little headscratching to figure out what CP was too! Correctly Political? Canine Police? Carbon Paper?

I cannot find a way to subscribe to threads any more anywhere nor when I reply or start a thread does it subscribe. Also I still am getting email alerts even though I have checked the no box in my options
