What does it mean to suscribe to a forum?

 

I'm going to assume that you may have the term "forum" mixed up with the term "thread" in this case. When you subscribe to a thread, you will get an e-mail when someone else posts a new comment to that thread. Most folks use this feature on threads that cover a topic they are really interested in. Comes in handy for the slow dial-up folks, since you don't have to spend time checking your favorite threads to see if someone else posted a new comment. Just subscribe to your favorite threads, and you will receive an e-mail that lets you know new comments have been posted to it.

 

if you look in the uper right hand corner of the thread listing it says subscribe to this forum.

 

Ah, I see said the blind man. I would think the same principle applies and you get an e-mail when a new thread is posted to that forum.
