Searching old threads > subscribing to threads

[papooses]

I'd just like to share my lightbulb moment of the day :rolleyes:

In the past I have subscribed to threads by default -- I changed that setting in my "User CP" but then I realized there are some threads in particular that I keep searching for.... (Search box is at the bottom of the forum screen)

I recently discovered that I can click "Thread Tools" to subscribe only to the threads I actually wish to referrence in the future :) :D :p

That's cool, I never new what subscribing to a thread meant before!

I just figured out how to rate a thread, I knew it could be done but never knew how to do it. I have never noticed the tool bar above the first post in each thread where it show: Thread tools, Search this thread, Display Modes and in the Carseat forum it shows Rate this thread! It talks about rating threads Here (http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=8936) and also says Users should now be able rate threads from 1 to 5 stars. The ratings will not appear until at least 5 members have rated a thread. If a thread contains one or more posts with excellent and detailed information, please consider giving it 5-stars to flag it for other members
Does anyone rate threads?

[papooses]

Stars :confused:

If you look at the tool bar above the first post in the Carseat section, you can rate threads based on stars. I guess when there is post that is good you can flag it for members to see and know it's good before reading? I would like to see how it works!

Hm, OK -- probably not on my OWN thread :rolleyes: (off to try a different thread, LOL)

Aha! Sooooo, I only saw that feature in the Safety area ... & yes, we can vote on our own threads :p

How do I quit subscribing to threads by default? I can't seem to figure it out this morning....I know that it should be in my user cp options. Thanks.

No need to reply...I think I had my lightbulb moment of the day, lol.
