When you come on to the board, go the "new posts" (under the Bird Board logo on top) click that and it will bring up all new topics since the last time you were here.

Or if it still doesn't come up, which would mean there have been no new posts to the thread, click on your name, then click on "public profile" then go down to where it says post count, under that you can click on either "find all threads...." or "find all posts..."

i know how to get to new posts. but i want to earmark posts i want to follow as the days go. also i can seem to find public profile.... when i searched it . it brought me back to my original question... talk about going in circles!!! thanks

Hi. I usually go to the spot called User CP. Under there is a thing called all subscribed threads. All the threads you have posted to are in there. Hope that helps.

thanks for the help.. when i go to user cp it says i have not subscribed to any threads. how do you subscribe to a thread you want to follow. i know im dumb. i never could keep those chat rooms straight when the web started....hahahha

If you look at the bottom of the page when you are posting a response you will see a drop down box...thread subscription. In there you can then pick your type of notification. I have mine set to instant. I am not sure, but I think you can also set it up in your user CP. Let me double check on that. and I will get back to you.

How are you liking this board otherwise? I really like it here.

Hi, I am back again...ok.

1. Go to your user CP section
2. Find the Edit Options in the control Panel on the left hand side
3. Under Messageing and Notifications you will have the option to choose your notification type.

Hope this helps you.
