"Subscribe" or "Link"??? I'll assume you mean "Link"...

I guess that on this site, where threads are rarely more than 4 pages long, it isn't quite as important as some sites where threads are 16, 19, 28 pages long, like this one at ARFCOM -

http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/2...hread__2_.html

- Which is a picture thread 49 pages long...Your post could get lost very easily in that thread...And who would bother reading the whole thread to get to your post???

It may be that the OP wanted to link to a picture or text in a post in a certain thread here without making readers read the entire thread looking for the object of his link...

I just found out a few days ago that only members of this Forum can view links to this forum...I.E., members of ARFCOM who are not members here can't view a picture I had posted here and also posted a link to over in that Forum...

I'm just guessing; I have no idea what Jack is trying to do..."I don't know Jack!"...
