Like I really need more email :-)

However, I also don't want to be known as someone who ignores others as they respond to whatever tidbits I might have "contributed."

What I'm looking for is the toggle which will have the software notify me when someone responds to one of my posts. I'll bet this is something terribly simple, but I'm not finding it.

Is the possibility even still there ?

Joe, go to: http://www.naznet.com/community/prof...do=editoptions

Find Default Thread Subscription Mode and set to your preferences.

Also, when you open any thread, one of the options just above the posts is "Thread Tools" you can subscribe to that particular thread there.

Thanks Scott,

I knew it had to be simple. It was.

But, in my crazy, no time to do anything right, world, I wasn't finding the settings page link. Appreciate the heads-up.

You're sure welcome. It's a a great software package, but with so many options it can be a bit of a challenge to navigate.

Hi Joe! Good to see you... and congrats on the new grandson!

Hi Joe! Good to see you... and congrats on the new grandson!

That's the trouble with facebook, one can't keep secrets anymore :-)

Connor is growing fantastically. For those who don't know this yet, my daughter Karen, and her husband Roger Bradley, were blessed with their first son, Connor Solomon on December 2nd. He weighed 8 lb 6 oz and was 20 inches long at birth.

He is extremely alert, and his eyes were tracking light almost immediately after birth. A little over 2 weeks into his experience he is already following movement with his eyes. He's also eating like a Persian horse, and is nearing 10 pounds already.

Also, his dad is deployed in Afghanistan with the Iowa National Guard, and will not get to see Connor until after Christmas. This is his 6th overseas tour, and the 5th to the "Mideast." So, the situation could use a prayer or two from time to time.

Karen is doing very well, and bless her heart, Michayla is not only not jealous or feeling supplanted, she's extremely protective of her new baby brother. And, of course, Alex continues to be the phenomenal big sister that makes Mom's life much easier as she tracks and entertains the little ones.

So, we're now up to 7 grandchildren, 4 girls, 3 boys, and Angie finally has a nephew :-)

She and Jerrett are doing as well as can be expected with both of them drawing unemployment currently. 2010 has definitely been an attitude changer for both of them.

Dale and Liz are in the Ames, Iowa area. Dale works for Martin-Marietta as the Safety Director at their limestone mine north of Ames. Liz is still working in the receivables segment of the Ames Hospital. Gracie is growing into quite a little lady and is cuter than anything you'll ever meet. Well, along with the other 4 granddaughters, they collectively are the cutest things you'll ever encounter :-)

So, life goes on and we continue to count our blessings.

Best to you and yours as well!!

Merry Christmas!

You're sure welcome. It's a a great software package, but with so many options it can be a bit of a challenge to navigate.

So where's the option to filter out posts within a subscribed thread that have gone down a rabbit trail I don't want to follow? I use the hybrid view, which often scrunches up threads and tells me simply that there are more unread posts for me to dig down to. So I expand and expand and finally find the unread post and it says, "Oh yeah? Well, you're stupid!"

I have a perfectly fine source of that sort of immaturity in real life which gives me plenty of entertainment and more warm fuzzies without nearly the effort. I'd just as soon pass it over here but I'm always afraid of missing out on part of the real discussion in a thread of interest.

Sorry, just venting a little. You're right. It's good software. If only people lined up as easily as bits and bytes.

My suggestion is that a person in such a situation do a firm post asking people to go start another thread for their rabbit trail and leave the current thread on topic.

Have you ever tried that?

By the way, Joe, you get one notification by email of activity in a subscribed thread, but you don't get email for every post between visits to the board so you can't really monitor the thread just from email. Or at least, if there is a "receive every post to subscribed threads by email" option, I have missed it.

Nah, don't want that. I suspect it's there via something like a "universal subscription" like the Facebook groups have, as well as Yahoo groups, but since I have more than a few of those already, even as much as I love NazNet, I'm long past the point where I want to read every post.

Eyes glazing here :-)

You want 'em to line up like "bits and bytes," huh? While reading this names came to mind ... people have names ... "Little Bit" and "Big Byte." [food for a computer-forum-related cartoon, maybe?]
