What are 'subcribed forums'

[terrypin]

On clicking User CP, one of the items I see is this:
"You are not subscribed to any forums at the moment"
I could find nothing about this in the FAQ... What does it mean? How do I 'subscribe' to a forum? Why would I want to?

BTW, I could see no specific forum to post queries on 'How to use the forums' - is this the most appropriate place?

Over a week and no replies... so does that mean no one knows what it means (to subscribe to a forum)? Not even the moderator?

sorry about that.

When you subscribe to a forum, you'll get an e-mail notice whenever someone posts to that forum. Since most people just check the forums periodically anyway, it's not a feature that's used a lot.
