My Subscriptions
Subscriptions are set in two different ways.
 
  1. You can subscribe to a post by using the “subscriptions icon” at the top of a page of interest. You can define your subscription by selecting from a list of options (demonstrated in picture).
  1. Add a subscription from  your “My Subscriptions” page by using the “add subscription” tab. Add a subscription by content type in a particular group or site-wide, by the node number on a particular thread, by an author's username, or by tags (taxonomy terms).

The "Subscribe to" link takes you to the subscription confirmation page, where you can choose how often to check whether the item or its comments have been updated. If any change is noticed, an email will be sent to the email address you registered with.

After subscribing you will see a confirmation in a green outline box. The "Subscribe to: This Post" link then changes to "Unsubscribe from: This Post" for canceling the subscription. (Note: You can also manage all your subscriptions via your "My Account" page by selecting the "My Subscriptions" link in the left sidebar toggle menu as described here.)
