If I am clicking on the link, subscribe to this forum. Shouldn't I get mail notifications of all the posts in that forum like if I am subscribet to a thread? Or did I not understand something here. I have subscribet to the game section, but there is a lot of new thread that I never get mail notfication about.

Subscribed threads are shown on your http://www.vbforums.com/images/top_profile.gif page.
Brad!
Yes they are...but the subscribet forum part is also shown there..and I get mail notification if there is new posts in any of them, but not for the forum part that I have subscribet to....
Well i only get email notifications when you make a thread, or reply to one. Then once you have done that, i am automatically subscribed to that thread.
He said subscribe to forum, not thread...Quote:

Subscribe to forum and subscribe to thread work differently (obviously, as you already found out).
The reason? Take a forum like VB Questions. On a good day, how often are post made there? 5 per minute? More? Less? Now lets say 200 users have this forum subscribed to.
That's 1,000 emails the server has to send per minute. 60,000 emails in an hour.
That's a HUGE strain on resources and would probably give us many, many more ads to pay for it.
Thats why I signed up at the game section sice there is not very day there is a new thread there....that way I hoped I didn't have to check every day...;)
You lazy bum. Get rid of your life and spend more time on the internet. Sheesh.Quote:

Hehe...I am no lazy man....working 8 to 8 more or less every day, and have home work and an internet page to update after that...I am spending more time here all ready then I want....but who cares...just have to use less time eating and sleeping...;)
I just found a solution. I found a plugin for FireFox. It can check if it has been changes in a site. So now I have added a bookmark to the game section, so every time anyone is posting a new thread, or a new post in that section I get a notification right away...:D...I am soo happy, and getting lazier and lazier all the time..:D
I also have a plug in that can refresh the site for me every 5, 10, 30 and so on second, so if I am waithing for a reply, then I can just let it run untill it is there...don't have to press F5 again...:D
You seem obsesed with Fireball...err... I mean FireFox ;) And boy you're getting desperate :p
