Hello
I'm relatively new to the chat and have been enjoying reading the various forums and threads. One thing I can't figure out though is how to post on a thread without replying directly to someone else's post. Can anyone help me with this? There doesn't appear to be any buttons available anywhere, other than the Reply buttons on other people's posts and the button to start a new discussion. Have tried both on mobile and laptop.
I also noticed the counts on some threads which includes the number of "subscribers" - how do you subscribe to a thread?
Many thanks
Hi MrsEd, to make a new comment go back to the opening post and use the reply box there, your comment will be seen in chronological order ... sorry can't answer the 'subscriber' query , would like to know myself as not noticed it before!!

Ah, ok. I assumed everyone else had a magical button as their "replies" don't say "in reply to..." I am glad I'm not missing out. Thanks WendyBartter
Will wait to see if anyone can answer the subscriber query.
I have absolutely no idea what the subscriber count applies to.
I thought I was missing something obvious so I'm glad I'm not the only one flummoxed by it. Thanks.

I think subscribed threads are ones like the osprey threads, where you send a request to the thread manager to enable you to like/reply/post etc.

I note that the subscriber number has increased since my first reply ... 25 was 23
sometimes when you reply to a thread you automatically get subscribed to it but if you dont reply you dont so you dont have to subscribe to subscribe. so if you want to subscribe to a thread you dont have to actually subscribe you can just reply if you want to subscribe to it that is why you get email notifications and they give you the option to unsubscribe to threads. you can also mute notifications then it will un subribe you so you dont get any more notifications but you can subscribe again by either commenting on a thread or clicking more and turn reply notifications on
you get notifications for forums and posts you have subscribed to. as for groups you have to join to reply but with normal posts to subscribe you have to comment or press notifications on

There are not 25 people who have replied to this thread. So replying to a thread is not is not the criterium for being listed as a subscriber.
