A mate of mine (Fred Binneys Head, you may know him) remembers that when he posted on a thread there was a tick next to it but I don't seem to have that. Is there something I should do that I haven't done?

As usual, Fred is almost right.

You get a little arrow which goes from left to right than diagonally down to the left on the envelope to the left of the thread title. If you put the cursor over the envelope it tells you you've got however many posts on that thread.

Thanks LOG - Fred says that wasn't what he used to have but I have checked and it's there now so I'm Kool and the Gang.

Has it changed or is Fred a lying c*nt?

Yeah, but I don't get the tick so what do I need to do? Answer me that, Yeo.

Go to User CP, then Edit Options, then about a third of the way down in the bit called 'Default Thread Subscription Mode' set the drop down menu to 'no email'.
