Similarly you'll find Subscribe forum in the same location when inside a specific section.

Look on left side above Author column - you should see a Subscribe link - however, as a new user here (BTW, Hi and welcome!) I might suggest bookmarking the "View active topics" link and using that because to not miss any of the great activity here, you need to see more than just a topic or two, ok?

Subscribe Forum is only available when you are looking at the discussion list in one of the sub-forums.

For instance you should see it on this page: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewforum.php?f=3
But you won't find it here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/index.php
Or when viewing a single thread.

For a particular topic, you should look near the bottom of the page as well:

Same thing for a thread under a sub-forum:

EDIT: I just realized that you might have your forum theme differently. The instructions I posted above is for the prosilver board theme. You can get to this option by User Control Panel > Board preferences > My board style.

I think it depends on the forum style whether it is at the top or at the bottom.

that's good thanks

Sorry about not thinking about forum style making that much of a difference!

Thanks to others for noticing that! I'm SO used to this style that I totally forgot there was option on that.

But - as I said - I'd highly suggest you use the "View unread posts" or "view active topics" to be aware of what's happening because in past, some users have not seen topics that answered their issue and created duplicates. etc. which makes for a messy forum.
