Should we be able to subscribe to threads?

That is, and receive email notifications?  I'm not, though people have responded to a thread or two in which I've posted.

 

I see that we can track these threads in our profile, but otherwise there's no apparent way to sign up for email notification.  Is that supposed to be the case?

For the moment yes. I have

For the moment yes. I have the modules for subscription and thread subscription ready to go once the initial round of bugs is worked out and I know our basic install of the system is going to hold up under pressure. Expect to see those sort of new features up at the end of the week if everything holds. Eye-wink

Ok - you should be seeing

Ok - you should be seeing buttons to subscribe in the first post of every topic. There are also settings to auto sbscribe in your profile information, and subscriptions should be flowing now. Let me know if not.

I'm having the exact

I'm having the exact opposite problem. I don't want to subscribe to any threads as I find the email notification is incredibly annoying. However I cannot turn off auto-subscribe because I can't change my profile. When I click the subscriptions part of my account I get asked to log in (which I clearly already am since I'm posting), and when I do it tells me I don't have permission to change the settings. Basically I just want to default for me to be "don't subscribe to any thread ever". If you need more info let me know Smiling

Ok, I've gotten you

Ok, I've gotten you unsubscribed - that is really *bizarre* - when I first tried to unsub your settings it wouldn't let me - then without so mucha s breathign on t he code - suddenly it did. *confused look*

Wierd. 

But at this point, short of any lingering emails in the system you should be good. If you get any more over hte weekend, please let me know.
