... is that no matter how many time I put a tick in the box for email notifications for thread replies, it's always blank when I start a new post.

How can I set this thing to auto-tick?

I never use that option so I don't know, but I hope someone can help.

I don't even know where this box to be ticked is? I simply log in and view new posts.

I have altered it for you in admin, Jamie, so it should work okay now, let me know if it doesn't.

I don't either, Nigel. Where is the box to be ticked?

Underneath the reply box is a set of options, the last one is "notify me when a reply is posted". I'm assuming that's what the thread is about.

Click on 'User Control Panel' - then click on 'Board Preferences' along the top - then click on 'Edit Posting Defaults' down the side. There are four options and I have 'yes' on all four. If you want to change one of these you must click on submit after doing so.

I find this very useful as I get an automatic email on any thread that I have posted in, but each time the email comes through it gives you four options and I always click on the top one which takes me to the most recent post since I last visited. If you go to the fourth option that allows you to stop getting emails from that particular thread. Why not try it!

'Cos I don't see the need! Every time I come to the computer, I check View New Posts on the forums. I don't need to fill up my inbox with emails telling me there are new posts!

I was talking to Eddie!

I was actually answering his post above!!!!

I keep meaning to ask whether anyone else finds "Search Forums" slow to use. If I search for a word and the thread I'm looking for doesn't come up on the first page, I generally have to wait ages till it allows me to click on page 2. The same happens if I want to refine my search, or start a new search. A message comes up saying something like, "Sorry, you cannot search at this time. Please wait and try again." It doesn't always happen, but it happens quite often.

I find that happens fairly often too Anita.

Yes, that's right. I usually notice I'd forgotten to tick it about two seconds after clicking "post", much to my annoyance.
