How do I use the editing features?

How do I use the “Subscribe” Feature?

There are two ways to use Subscribe:

  1. You can subscribe to a Forum. If you do, you will be notified by email each time a new TOPIC is posted. So, for example, suppose someone creates a Topic titled “Picking up after your dog” in the Community Forum. You would receive an email notifying you that such a Topic has been posted if you have subscribed to the Community Forum.
  2. You can subscribe to a Topic. So, if you had subscribed to the Community Forum you would have been notified of the “Picking up after your dog” Topic. If that Topic interests you, you can subscribe to that particular Topic and you will be notified by email whenever someone replies to that Topic. There are many Topics in our Forums, you can pick and choose which ones you would like to subscribe (receive email notifications) to.

So to recap, if you subscribe to a Forum you’ll get ONE email whenever a new Topic is posted on the Forum to which you subscribed. If you then subscribe to a Topic, you’ll get an email EACH TIME someone replies to that Topic.

You can subscribe, or unsubscribe to both Forums and Topics at will.
