Do you use the subscription option?

I'm wondering if anyone besides me regularly uses the subscription option. I use it to keep track of threads I've made and that I need to keep up with like certain RPs. Also if a certain thread interests me.

Anyone else?

I don't.

I subscribed to one single thread once - and something glitched and it made me automatically subscribe to every single thread I ever posted in.

:rolleyes:

And no, I was not just too stupid to fix it.

After the big forum overhaul a while ago I tried again to fix it and suddenly it worked. I don't even care why, I'm just happy I don't have dozens of pages with "subscribed threads" anymore.

I really only use my profile to change my sig.

Yes. I subscribe to every thread I post in.

How the hell would I keep track of conversations if I didn't subscribe?

I used to, but I realized it was easier to just look at which posts are in bold and which are not. Subscriptions are more useful when you post across multiple forums, and I generally stick to NSG.

Subscriptions are useful. I use them for anything I post in, in II.

Nope. But now that you mention it, I might subsribe to NSG News24.

No. The thread I've posted in have check marks next to them, that's good enough for me.

Isn't that what a subscription is?

Isn't that what a subscription is?I don't know, it's what it did automatically. Also, it only includes threads that are on the main pages; I'd have to search for the ones that haven't been posted in in a while.

Well It's the same for me, but I had to go the the Edit Options page to the Subscribe page an... well..

Never. And if I need to keep up with a thread, I'll just use the search function to find it if I lose track of it.
