I know many of you like Yahoo Groups and I've put together this thread just for you. While this site will never run exactly like YG, I hope that doing these simple things will get it close enough to your liking.
Images
If you find the images people use for their Avatars or signatures to be a h***le, or even the images they may post in a thread, there is a simple way to turn them all off. Simply go to:
User CP> Edit Options> Thread Display Options
There you will see some check boxes that will allow you to turn off any or all images posted by other users. Don't worry if you decide that you want to see images posted in a thread if you have them setup to not show. You can simply click on the link to the image.
Subscriptions
You can setup in your Options how you want to subscribe to threads that you have posted in. You can get an instant email, or a daily or weekly digest. When you make a post, you can also select how you want to be notified of a post. What if you only want to watch a thread and don't have any thing to contribute at the moment? Well, you can use the Thread Tools menu at the top of the tread to subscribe to it as well with out ever making a post.
For those of you that like to see and read just about every thing that is posted, you can use the Forum Tools menu at the top of any forum to subscribe to that forum. Again, you can get instant updates, or daily or even weekly digests.
With all these options you never miss a thing and only receive what you want to get!
When you subscribe to a Category, you will receive an email that looks like the following....

The web address are actual links you can follow. You would get one of these emails for each Category you sign up for. If there is enough interest, I could create a single Category that would give you updates on the entire site.
