Keeping Up With The

[Guest BellyTimber]

Are there handy time-saving ways of keeping up with the most interesting threads?

I tend to scan the entire forum for what I think I have missed and think I want to catch up on but that's not very efficient!

There is a link in the top of each topic that says "Track this topic"

You can track it or you can go hit view new posts(which is up by your log in) and it will list everything that has been posted since your last visit.

How does "track this topic" work?

[KaitiUSA]

For the threads you want to keep an eye on it will email you when there are replies.

I like using the "view new posts" way. It's handy and you can see everything everybody's posted. Then you may get to read about an old topic you hadn't seen before because somebody has posted to it.

I use the "view new posts" option. Of course, it means I might reply in the kids section without realize it, but ah well. I'm a kid at heart?! ;-)

Yes--I use view new posts since I'm on all the time, but to track topics, scroll to the bottom and there's a little icon like a notepad or something in the bottom left. Click on that and it expands to give you options to subscribe to the forum, the topic, etc. Choose to track the topic and you will be sent e-mail notification at each reply. You can also set it to track any topic you reply to automatically (I think under my controls somewhere) but at the rate I post, I'm better off just viewing new posts

I usually go to view new posts or today's active topics.

I know there was a problem with getting an email for one reply but not another with the track this topic. If you get on here alot the view new posts and todays active topics would be a good option for you.

Mariann had that problem, but it isn't really a big deal. The board only sends out one or two reply notifications per topic, but when you follow the link on one reply to your topic, obviously, you'll see all the others. And it will send replies for all topics, just not every reply.
