    A Question That Has Nothing To Do With VB

    Is there a limit to the number of threads that one can subscribe to either by manually subscribing or because you posted to that thread?

    Why is this here and not in the Forum Feedback... or General Developer?

    Anywho, don't know... I haven't hit it yet. I would imagine that since it's all stored in the databse, the limit would be the aggregate of all member subscriptions based on enough storage space in the DB's hard drive.

    * I also don't respond to friend requests. Save a few bits and don't bother. I'll just end up rejecting anyways.*

    If there is a limit at all, it is so high that nobody has ever found it yet.

    Based on reasonable assumptions, it would be limited by storage space, and thus be virtually a non-issue (as posts take much more storage space, and posts are essential!).

    Thank you for your answer. I had an idea it was that but just wasn't sure.

    Those are just the ones they have subscribed to. They're manually keeping an eye on another billion or so as well.
