What I mean id that you are subscribed to the thread and when you click on the "User CP" link in the tool bar up top, it will show that thread in the list of threads that you are watching, but you will NOT receive an email alert regarding each reply.
I figure that I can save email server load if I just log in and check it myself, plus if there are multiple replies while I am logged in, I get multiple emails. No big deal- just delete them on my end, but it could save NICO resources for other functions.
I know that it sounds like a pain, but my thinking is this: sometimes I chime in on a thread, but don't need to track every update. BUT I might want to read it for updates, say, once a week. If I subscribe with email and I get 12 responses (while logged in) over the course of the week, that is 12 emails. HOWEVER, if I am just subscribed to it w/o emial notification, I can just click on the link in my user cp (even if I have to change the view to "show all threads in the past 7 days/week") and I see what action there was in that and all threads where I posted.
If I do NOT subscribe, it is a pain (okay, now i am whining) to page back in all of the forums to see where I posted and where I did not in search of the same threads. If I was subscribed, they would all be in the user cp- and all without using any server resources beyond the current system...actually, less because no emails are sent out to me.
Anyway, just a thought.
Edit: for this thread, for example, I will subscribe. But if I did not have email notification and wanted to track it, I could subscribe just log into NICO like normal, then make a trip to the "user cp" my first click once i am on the site. I could see that you attentive admins have replied, and I go read the replies and decide if my question was answered or not.
