Do you "subscribe" to threads?
When TFP first started up, I opted to subscribe (get email notices) to most of the threads I started up/replied to.
Very shortly I discovered that with a site like TFP (as many users/replies), I am getting lots of email (20+ messages). I have since stopped subscribing to threads, but I still get email notices from threads I started on day one.  Do you opt to subscribe to threads, or do you just manually check threads throughout the day? |

I had thought the two were inseperable? Interesting, I will have to check this out, as checking "User CP" for posts I am interested in would seem to work out well. |

I don't subscribe. I try to visit all the boards, but doing that is like trying to look at all the books in the library in one visit.

I just come in and check the threads throughout the day.
The only time I think I subscribed to a thread was for me and Secret's exhibition post. Which, by the way, should be back up in the next few days.

I subscribe to all of them automatically, but it doesn't always work the way it's suppose to. I only end up getting email notices to about a third of the threads I reply in.

Subscriptions provide easy shortcuts getting to all those threads you've commented in. The email notification is nice, but if you subscribe to too many threads at once, then all you get is a flood of emails.

I have email notification disabled now, but it still seems I am getting emails to threads I recently subscribe to... Odd.. I will do some tests to check this out.
