sparrow Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Similar to the recent thread about not knowing that clicking 'More' got you more Smilies, I just discovered you can search within a thread :blush:. I've been around here for a while. I can't believe I would use the 'Search' at the top of the page and then slog through PAGES of responses looking for my highlighted red search topic. So what other "obvious" tools do you use here that I'm clueless about :001_smile:? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 When I know the name of the poster, or even if I'm looking for one of my own threads (that don't always show up in searches) I click the posters name (or my own), then click on all posts by ..... to find the one I want.

gardening momma Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I use the advanced search to find out if there have been new posts to threads I've replied to. I also use it to combine a member name with a key word to find specific threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyable Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 You can subscribe to threads without posting on them (obvious to some, not so obvious to others. ;)) It's up under "thread tools" . I knew this one, but it was ages before I realized I could subscribe to threads that I was replying to while I was posting the reply. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew this one, but it was ages before I realized I could subscribe to threads that I was replying to while I was posting the reply. :tongue_smilie: I very rarely check back on threads that I do not reply to. If they pop back up in the main list and I'm interested I go in. So I don't bother to subscribe to anything because replying does that for me, in a way (I search by my own user name to see this list).

I knew this one, but it was ages before I realized I could subscribe to threads that I was replying to while I was posting the reply. :tongue_smilie: And then you can go to the bottom and do forum jump to and pick "subscriptions" and poof a whole list of ones I'm interested in. (I guess you sort of get this with having email notifications but I don't check that email so this works better for me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 You can subscribe to threads without posting on them (obvious to some, not so obvious to others. ;)) It's up under "thread tools" . I knew this one, but it was ages before I realized I could subscribe to threads that I was replying to while I was posting the reply. :tongue_smilie: You can also set your account to automatically subscribe to all threads you reply in. I have mine send me email notification for them. I use the thread tools to unsubscribe to ones I DON'T want to follow. Which is why I sometimes get emails about threads I participated in years ago when someone mysteriously resurrects them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
