Hello,

we have large number of discussions on our website and the subscription feature is not so easy to use for members, the subscribe button is not in the right place i think, not much visible. Other problem members should goto their subscriptions page and search for topics theyr want to unsubscribe :/

Can you share with us please the buttons/module are you using in the discussions sidebar here ? (check the screenshot).

The perfect module should have those buttons :

For guests : "Subscribe by email"
For members : "Bookmark" and "Subscribe" / "subscribe" in case they are already subscribed.


I believe this will help a lot of admins to keep their members active and connected to their favourite topics
hey Jan,

That subscribe/bookmark button is not generated from the module, this is actually customised from our website designer which populate these button on the template file.

I've checked in your site, it seems like the post subscribe link is not very affect people's attention, perhaps you can use css to customise your subscribe link from the post.

Hi Arlex,
Thank you for your response.

Yes this is why i much like the buttons on your forums
The actual default button is located in the top of discussion and its not good, why? users should find it witjh ease and scrolling page to tthe top and search for the button is bad for UX, the PERFECT position is in the sidebar in sticky position (as here), members and guests will subscribre instantly and we'll have a lot of interaction.

please consider my request
