Two suggestions.

Suggestion 1: Thread Subscription

Sometimes I come across a thread that I don't want to post in but want to see what other responses will be, as I'm sure most people do?

So anyway, I find it a little bit time consuming going into thread tools > subscribe to thread > Add subscription. Yeah, it's only a few seconds but time is precious!

Now at the moment, we can add thanks to a post by one click without navigating away from a page or reloading, it would be great if there was a similar button at the top of a page to ''add subscription'', without having to reload or navigate away from the page.

Suggestion 2: Search Option

This is a simple one, when we click on search at the top of each page there's options to ''show threads'' or ''show posts''. It would be nice for someone like me who does a fair bit of searching, to add a couple of more options, namely ''Search Thread Titles'' and ''Search Entire Post''.

More often than not I search for thread titles, and this would make it much quicker imo than opting for an ''advanced search'' and going to a different page.

Option 1 is a good idea. Maybe even if the current subscription method was just javascript that would be sweet. It would save having to do the reload. I doubt the developers will be doing anything like this soon. Vbulletin 4 is just around the corner so anything they do to the current vbulletin we are running might not work on vb4 and thus be wasted time.

Moved to Development forum (proper place for it:)) from Feedback and given a prefix of "feature suggestion".

Option 1: We'll take this feedback into account while making upcoming user interface changes. Subscribing to threads and forums are great ways of not losing your place in the massive flow of information that is boards.ie, so we're keen to make it easy.

Option 2: If you use the Boards.ie Beta skin you'll see a new dropdown on the top right. That gives you the two options you're looking for.

Would it be possible to autosubscribe to a thread when you thank a post in it?
