Not real keen on the automatic thread subscription feature.

It's common on just about every forum out there and I like it but I believe you can tick a box in your profile settings so you don't get automatically subscribed.

I just noticed when I post a reply, when it directs to my post the opening page goes to my signature so I have to scroll up to proof read what I just posted.

Any chance you can change it so the opening page opens at the top of the post?

I thought I was on the muzzy forum at first. :)

I also noticed that, didn't realise there were many here on both forums, do you use the same username?

Yes, I'm aware of it on other forums and I usually turn it off (get enough emails already), but there isn't an account setting on here that I can find.
It's C3 chromie for me, see? Si!

Turned off.  The setting is under notifications in your profile.  Do want any thread subscriptions tuned off too? i.e this thread is the only one you have

Where is that?

Under Profile I get a drop down box with a list of these 3 items:

Summary
Account Settings
Forum Profile

... and I see no mention of notifications in any of those views.

Hit summary, then beside Profile Info, hover over Modify Profile for the drop down list.

There is also a setting in your profile where you can also set your menu's in your profile to appear as a side bar rather than a drop down

Where is that feature?

Sorry lads, was watching Bathurst  :drag:

Profile/modify profile/looks & layout.  Tick the "use side bar" box/ save

The side bar is so much better as all is shown at once rather than having to hover over the drop downs

If any of you guys get stuck, just let me know and I'll do it for you :hi:

Thanks, it sure is much better -- can actually find the options in that format. Would suggest making sidebar style the default for all members to save further queries.

You still had two subscriptions active.  They were show down the very bottom of your notifications section. I have now removed them so you shouldn't get any more notifications.

When you next post use the reply button instead of the quick reply, if you are, and down the bottom of screen you will see  "Attachments and other options". Click on that and just double check that notification switch has turned off.

Ok a little note here.  When you use the smilies on this new software you must have a space in front and after the smilie or what has happened above in your post occurs.

Now go Modify your post and fix it or you wont be allowed to watch Bathurst tomorrow :kickass:  :bigsmile:

edit

No not the enter button the space bar :lol:


PS You did that deliberately didn't you :kickass:

I'll let ya off but only because you're supporting Holden.... go the Dodges :bolt:
