[tawni8806]

HI THERE!:D

I dont know about the rest of you, but I am trying to figure out some of your abbreviations. I have narrowed down a couple, to what I ASSUME:

FH: Future Husband
FMIL: Future Mother in law

..... Can you help me out on the rest, or correct mine if I am wrong.

Thanks!!

GRRR...Whenever I post I get a million e-mails whenever there are replies, because I forgot to click DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. Is there an easier way?! I guess Quick reply...huh?!!?

[SerendipityCrafts]

You HAD to bring that up didn't you. Note: I did happen to get it on my own but you were just quicker to post first. :)

[SerendipityCrafts]

OH my .... you mean we let you in without making you take the acronym test?

Go to your control panel, click on Edit options (on the left) and then change your preferences under

Default Thread Subscription Mode

When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread.

If you want to track/subscribe to a new thread, then you can click on thread tools at the top of each thread.

If you want to change your subscription re: the posts that you are already getting now, go back to your control panel, click on subscriptions and change your preferences there.

You can change your default setting to not subscribe and just subscribe to the ones you want to get emails about.

This will not change the ones you have already subscribed to; you can delete certain ones manually in your UserCP or I can remove all your thread subscriptions for you.

Here are a few I have seen around places that I didn't know:

OTOH = On the other hand

(m) = More

TPTB = The powers that be

FTR = For the record
