Unread replies

The problem I have tho is that if Im in a conversation in a thread the email keeps stacking up and I end up with 10 or so replies.

I wonder if we could get a reverse forum spy, that would show the threads that we have subscribed to and update as a new post is submitted.

That's brilliant!

Unfortunately, it only seems to work if you have an unique username like your good self, Mitthrawnuruodo.



I imagine it would work for most though.

I only got eight extras.

Never thought of that...

Excellent that worked for me.

Except that some of us are so undiscriminating and prolific about their posting habits, that unsubscribing from them would be a complete pain.

It takes one five-minute session every few months to clear out the old subscriptions. They're all sorted by last post date, so it's easy to jump to the last page, select all, delete, until the number is down to the non-scary level again.

Why do you have have to unsubscribe?

Why do you have have to unsubscribe?

You don't, but I don't like the clutter. I also unsubscribe from threads I posted in earlier that have since gone off into the usual uselessness, who wants to see new posts in those?

You don't, but I don't like the clutter.

I guess since I only look at the "New Subscribed Threads" list I don't see the clutter, since it only displays the newest 12 or so threads (in order by the time of the most recent post).

There's always the option of reading every single thread.

There's always the option of reading every single thread.

...And posting in every thread?

May as well.
