I love having subscriptions on a forum, it makes finding the threads I'm interested very easy, which is the point. However, I don't like that if I am subscribed to a thread, it seems that I HAVE to get an e-mail every time someone else posts in that thread. After you get subscribed to 20 or so threads that see a few posts a day... well, you get the idea.
So: am I totally missing a setting under my options, or is it an all or nothing (subscriptions + e-mail, or no subscriptions) type of thing? If I'm not retarded and I've interpreted the menu correctly, can this be changed? At least to have the option for e-mail notification? Here's what we have as options on a couple other forums I'm on:
Default Thread Subscription Mode:
"When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread."
Do not subscribe
No e-mail notificaiton
Instant e-mail notification
Daily e-mail notification
Weekly e-mail notification
The only option I see here is "Automatically subscribe to threads you post in."
Thanks!
