as the topic suggests Ask the Council i hope i am asking this at right place.. and wont be considered as spam in this thread..

my Question is
CAN WE ADD A FUNCTION TO TMO AS "SUBSCRIBE TO THIS THREAD FOR NEXT 5/10/20 POSTS"

in case someone doesn't want to subscribe to a thread for life-time

its would be very helpful for the people who ask Question(Query) in some thread(just like i am asking question in this thread)..

since what we generally do is track that thread for next 5/10 comments, since there's a high probability of your query getting answered within next 20 comments and if it doesn't its forgotten
& probably it won't get answered (until you ask it again)

please do consider about it

The same "thread tools" link that allows you to subscribe to a thread also will unsubscribe you from the same thread.

election is now!

how to vote
-----------
voting will run from may 16th until may 23nd 2012, 23:59 utc.

your voting credentials are:

Url: http://maemo.org/vote/
e-mail: {with which you registered with maemo}
vote token:

if you are entitled to vote, you should have received an e-mail to {e-mail}
(check your SPAM?)

After authenticating yourself, you can choose your preferred candidates
in order of preference. You will have an opportunity to verify and

Once you have confirmed your vote, a unique secret identifier will be
given to you which will allow you to verify after the election that your
vote was counted correctly.

Once you have voted, you will not be able to vote again.

Thank you for your vote!

We can try to ask Reggie about that, although, honestly, I don't think it's feasible (unless there is such fool-proof, already baked, plug-and-play solution for vBuiletin).

such a feature is unlikely to exist, neither as a standard feature (it would already by available in the settings) nor as a plug-in.
reason being that the "number of posts" on a thread is very irregular.
one day you may have dozens of posts and then no more posts for weeks at ends.
afraid unless you are willing to develop a plug-in for vbulletin jcharpak's solution is all that's available

thanks @Estel,@misterc

imho it would be a good functionality to TMO..
since it would be useful for Queries, suppose i am a new user then i would be having a lot of questions about N900,CSSU,apt-get,Easy-debian,Nitdroid.. etc
in this way i can ask my queries in each and every thread i feel might solve my problem.. without the concern of Flooding my mailbox

another reason maybe.. sometimes in a particular thread(even when that thread is not your favorite one), the current topic twists in the field of your interest so you would like to monitor and be active in that thread for a few days/hours & and then the you will Hibernate from that thread since the topic changed again..
a limited[time(1day 2days week) limited or postcount(next 5/10/20 posts) limited] subscription might come handy in this situation too

i said the same thing again, didn't i..

Sure, it sounds like a nice option for certain occasions, although personally I would just manually unsubscribe from a thread once I no longer needed it. However, it would depend on there existing a way to do this in vbulletin. Also, I don't think this is really a matter for the council - the forum is Reggie's thing.

Personally, i don't use sending mails by forum at all. If You have thread subscribed, and you log in, then proceed to Control Panel, first thing You see is list of Your subscribed threads with new posts (don't confuse it with "Subscribed Threads" list, that show every subscribed thread, no matter of new posts being posted or not). You also got Your PM's there - if any new - so, basically, it's Your custom view for any new content that You might feel interested in.

If You add to this "Active Topics" panel, that could be enhanced to allow setting up categories You're interested in (or tags), I think everything needed to properly manage Your threads of interest should be available.

even without subscribing to a thread, you can simply go to your list of posts
(click on your ID => find all posts by immi.shk
beside the thread title above each of your posts is an orange envelop; the envelop is sealed if there are no new posts in the thread and open with pages sticking out if there are new posts...
