Here's a wish list item.

It's a great feature that the creator of a thread can subscribe to it and receive email notification of posts. It would be even better if a member could subscribe to an existing thread. There are two reasons for this:

1) If you spot a thread that tis interesting to you, you would be able to keep on top of it without having to wade through the flotsam and jetsam of the forums each time.

2) If you create a thread and forget to check the Subscribe box (like I just did before creating this thread, :eek: ) you wold be able to go back and fix your mistake.

The upgrade I'm planning to do this weekend should add this feature Marc.

The challenges that pop to mind - #1 - I have not actually seen it work - so there may be 'issues', and #2 there is the inevitable issue of people subscribing and having an invalid Forum known email address - those emails get bounced back to my personal in-box.. :bleh:
