I'd like it if when someone creates a session, the thread associated is automatically added to their subscribed threads. Sometimes people take no notice of questions that are asked in the thread, so this should help notify them.

I am also wondering if it should be added as an email notification thread. If so, it would probably be best if the automatic 'xx has joined the session' posts should probably not be included.

I'm not sure this will help all that much. Are the people who aren't likely to look at their boosting session likely to view "my threads," or are they not using the forums altogether?

Also, I personally wouldn't want to have to autosubscribe, even as the creator, so at best it should be optional to start with, which again, reduces it's efficacy.

I am going to agree with lozzy7 that at the least some means of knowing when a session's thread has been updated needs to be present. There is no telling how much important info has been missed because someone posted it after they had already joined the session.
I am not back, only suggesting what I want to use.

However, I feel like in most cases, if I have created a session, people will message or PM me if I don't respond prior to the event, and if it comes to event time, anything that hasn't been worked out, will be worked out. As for people leaving and joining and such, well... just regularly check back on your session? This is just me, and I tend to be minimal with my session creation.

The thing I don't get is... what is the point of clicking "My Threads" when you can just click "My Sessions" and give them a once-over? All you're doing is duplicating the information...

Except my sessions doesn't quickly tell you if there has been an update.

Ok, so I see two different issues trying to be solved here:

1) Users who don't use the site as much not following the thread.
As I noted before, I don't think there's a solution to this.

2) Users who do use the site much needing access to updates.
Just add the boosting session to "my threads," no?

This can be moved to the archive. Not expecting anything to ever come of this.

I have to agree with Sera way, way back:

I've missed plenty of info that took place in the thread even though I'm online, there's just nothing to remind me or grab my attention! Can't say I've ever had any exchanges in regards to the Sesh via PM or anything, it always happens in the thread.

It's also people asking questions in regard to the session if they're thinking about joining. If someone's only going to be on TA for a short period of time and they ask about the session, if I'm online I'd like to know about it so I can get to them with a response, before they potentially go offline and miss out on the session...
