What is going on here?

This is probably a good place if any to post this...

I cannot figure out how to get any kind of notification to threads that have new posts. I tried "subscribing" to the threads I post in or just want to follow, and with some digging found a section that is supposed to show those threads which have new posts, but they do not. "Subscribed Threads with New Posts: (0)" I know for a fact some of those I have not clicked on before checking that, and clicked the threads themselves and there is new replies. Is there something I am doing wrong maybe?

Not being able to stay engaged in conversations as easy certainly isn't helping people stay active imho. I have to just check the Home- Recent Threads, and even that appears to be a little iffy what shows as unread.

Good point- I read this before & got side-tracked before I could respond, but since I don't know the answer, you didn't miss anything. I've used other forums that notify me, but this one never has.

Probably should have posted here as well, but we got the subscription issue resolved in a PM:

Make sure you have selected the thread subscription method that you prefer in your User Control Panel: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/prof...do=editoptions

Scroll down to Messaging & Notifications. In the Default Thread Subscription Mode menu choose the option you want.

Your subscribed threads are here: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/subscription.php

With the email notification option, I will say that you get one notification when something new is posted to a thread you are subscribed to. You don't get a notification for each new post, only the first one. It's a limitation of the software unfortunately.

You will see all threads that you have posted to or started in your subscription list. Also any threads that you have chosen to subscribe to via the Thread Tools>Subscribe to this Thread option.

Aha.. Hi, of course I'm one of the new 'worried noobies' [to this forum at least] but I do have to say that I really hope this place survives. Even with some prior knowledge on snakes, this place has taught me more in almost a week than anything else in all the years I've lived. Thank you to everyone on here that makes that happen for us. As a worried noob, I really appreciate it, and I say thank you 😊 God bless you all 🙏
