Does anyone see the Subscribe to Topic button? My old eyes can't find it.

There are times when you don't want to post a reply but would like to follow the topic being discussed.
I've found and fixed the issue. You can find the subscribe button at the bottom of the page, under the post button.

I've now replied to 2 pm's I got last night. One this morning, and one right now. They are staying STUCK in my "Outbox" and never making it into the "Sent" folder.
Are they actually going out at all, or is something wrong?

They will stay in the "outbox" until the recipient opens and reads them and then they will move to the "sent" folder.
This is the way it has always been. That part of the way PMs are handled hasn't changed.
In the outbox...they haven't been read by receiver.
In the sent box...they have been read by the receiver.

Ok, I guess I never noticed that before. Thanks!

I prefer that my name doesn't show up as "on line". It never has in the past. I went to the control panel and clicked on, "do not show", but it still shows I'm on line. I did log out and back in.
Anyone else?
This is about the Users Browsing This Forum at the bottom of post pages. It seems what was happening, you could see every member who allows you to view their online status. You also saw your own name in bold. But, if your settings did not allow it, then you were the
only one seeing your online status. I liked it that way - did not have to go back to the top of the page to see I was logged in.

Now, I am not so sure. Just saw my name on one thread, but not on others. Oh well, not a big deal.

For right now I have opted to "show me online" status.
When I look at the main forum page I can see myself but when in a thread it doesn't show up. Not sure why but as you say...not a big deal.
I had this happen before the software changeover.
I haven't played with what happens if I choose "hide online" status yet. Maybe later if I think about it I will look to see if I can see myself or not.

In a long post, that is a neat feature that gives you an arrow in a quoted item to click on and get taken back to the post that is being quoted. Try it in my post above - you can quickly see what Pugsy and JNK actually said.

Anyone else having a problem with the little red "take me to unread post" thing? When thread is 1 page it works for me but seems like when more than 1 page all I go to is the first page.
I have resolved the issue with this link.

Thank you very much. It does indeed seem to work properly now.

Has anyone mentioned that the upgrade made the forum much quicker to load? Nice.
