GUBU - How to change subscription defaults

How do you change the forum subscription defaults so it always sends an email notification on updates. Clicking on every thread is annoying.

Click Notifications > Settings in top right of drop down
or
User Control Panel under your username > notifications

There you can adjust the notification settings and check box for emails

3rd party here, i'm unafilliated, but wanted to know what the change is after reading this. as far as i can see, the source and target are the same, and are the same as your username. is there something very very subtle that i am not seeing?

I think I'm being thick, but I can't see an option that auto subscribes me to threads which I post in?
Is there such an option?

I can see lots of options, just not one that leads to auto subscription to threads.

If its there for you - can you either screenshot it or just copy the specific text?

You should be autosubscribed by default to any thread you post in. Are you receiving any notifications?

No, it seems I have to manually click the subscribe button.

I'll test it on another thread now, and won't click subscribe. I'll see then if any updates do come in.

But I am right in thinking you are receiving notifications on threads you manually subscribe too?

I'll check out the defaults. But if you are not receiving anything even if manually subbed, maybe gmail is blocking our emails, this is happening to some gmail users, still trying to get to bottom of it.

Yes, I am getting notified properly via the notifications on the site, and also via email (but that may take an hour or so to come in).

Its just threads that I post in, I have to manually subscribe to. Not the biggest thing really!
