Hi guys,

On our board, the default when you make your first post in a thread is this you are not watching the topic. You can choose to make it a watched topic.

Is there a way to change that so it is an opt out rather than an opt in?

Really frustrating to reply to a post and write a five paragraph post on how to set up Hyper-V with virtual machines on Server 2012 only to realize there are 20 more posts two days later and you weren't notified.

Without looking I assume yes.
Once you edit the file/files/ needed.

Thanks. These are always tough (I remember a similar post on editing I wrote here last year -- in which you guys changed it for me). But, making a change like that would be because I wanted it, not necessarily the other users.

And, it's hard to ask them. They are horrible with polls. smile

Yep, It is just like the hover tooltip option.
They love it or hate it.

Ask and they don't respond.
Change it and they all respond.

So you can't win with everyone.

LOL. I remember when an admin added that years ago. Hated it. But, I was/am a rather powerful customer of this company so it only took one email.

I don't mean that to brag.... smile
