In the old board we could elect to "watch" or "unwatch" a thread--is that possible on the new board or is it all or none? I hope that this question makes sense.
Also, I am still lost with Bookmarking. I have read the steps and tried to follow the steps but am still either not understanding how it all works with bookmarking or something is not working for me. When I follow the steps and get to the point where I click on "Folders", am I supposed to be getting a choice of either "Bookmarks" or "Subscriptions"? Because I'm not. If you don't have the patience to be kind about my problem, please don't address this question. I'm really at the end of my rope with this issue. I have been just taking pictures of threads that I want to bookmark because of not understanding this. Everytime I try to figure it out I end up in tears. I have a lot of worries right now and would just like for this to not be one of my troubles. Thank you, Bambi
Hi there, I feel your pain. I am still struggling with ths so thought I would try and help with your first question. Let me know if it helps. You want to know how to watch a topic without commenting on it. Here is what I do. Say you are reading a topic so if you look up just about the top posting, it says 'thread tools' 'search thread' and 'display'. Click on Thread tools and I think the bottom choice is 'subscribe to this thread'. Click on that and that should do it. The page refreshes and you should be subscribed and get notifications in your email if you have chosen that option. Let us know if it worked. :-) I can't help with your 2nd problem. Hopefully, someone else can. :-)
