Hi

I'm having a problem and I hope this is the right place to ask for help. As you can see I have an account <grin> and I have a working control panel. Last year I subscribed to 10 forums and everything worked.

I am now trying to subscribe to another forum - Subways and Urban Transport http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=130

When I am in the forum I go to Forum Tools -> Subscribe to this forum and I get a page that in the title area reads "Add Subscription" but in the body reads " Subscribe to Thread" and trying to click through the page does not subscribe me to the forum

I would also like to subscribe to "Stadiums and Sport Arenas" but I get the same error. Can anyone help? Is it a known bug or is my account broken? Also my post count is broken but I am assuming everyone's is.

Thanks
Tancred

On the point of post counts, every now and then, the post counts are recalculated (ie it actually counts the posts in the forum instead of incrementing the count every time a post is made). Seeing that old threads are deleted, it means that when the counts are calculated, only posts that are still present count. In the past two years I've spent here, I've probably made in excess of 1000 posts by now.

The subscription thing is weird though, but I just manually navigate to the forums that I visit most so I don't really know why that's happening.
