However I'm using this method of getting updates to threads too (always add something nice to say but probably the same as 'subscribing').
If you know a better way to get updates for a specific thread into your 'Show new replies to your posts' box, please let me hear it!
I hate the 'Notify' link, as it sends out email notes. The next morning I log into my mail account I have several dozen of emails from active threads in my inbox, this is _much_ more annoying to me than seeing the frequence "subscribing" messages in between.
But given that being a simple option to follow a thread, I prefer people writing "Subscribing" rather than making up some bullsh*t statement to sound like they actually like to contribute (but really just want to keep reading); "Subscribing" is easier to skip. I know, it puts that thread on top, although there's no new info in it, that's still annoying.
So unless you tell me about a way to get a list of the threads I'm interested in one place similar to that 'Show new replies to your posts' tab (no email updates please, my inbox is already too full), your request has no merit. If there's no other way currently, this might be a good feature request.
BTW, very mature, Agent_Provocateur, very mature indeed.
