What do the ‘Favorite’ and ‘Subscribe’ Links Do?

Near the top right side of a Topic or Post you may see a Favorite and / or a Subscribe link depending on the screen you are looking at. Sometimes the Subscribe link will show as a blue button, and sometimes those two links may instead show ‘Unfavorite’ and ‘Unsubscribe’.

What do those links do??

Clicking on the Favorite link causes the Topic or Post to show up in your forum profile’s Favorites section. That is another way for you to navigate to something that you ‘book marked’ so you can return to it more quickly. If that link shows as ‘Unfavorite’ that means you’ve already clicked on it to make it your Favorite. Clicking on the Unfavorite link will toggle it back off and it will no longer show in your profile. Click it again and it will once again show in your profile’s Favorite list. You can also remove a Topic from your profile Favorite list by clicking the red X near each topic

When the Subscribe link / button is clicked it will change to Unsubscribe meaning you have enabled subscription emails to be sent to you anytime there is a new Topic or Post added to the item you subscribed to. This is the same as clicking on the ‘Notify me of follow-up replies via email’ checkbox you can select when creating a new Topic or Reply. As with Favorites you can view a list of Subscribed Topics and Posts via the link in your profile. You can remove a Subscription by clicking on the Unsubscribe link in a Topic or Post, or by clicking the red X near each Topic in the Subscribe view in your profile.
