In summary, there is an option in the thread tools that allows you to subscribe to a thread without actually replying in it. This allows you to keep track of threads you want to stay updated on, even if you are not qualified to participate. This feature has been confirmed to work by another user.

Is there a way to "subscribe" to a thread without actually replying in it? That way you can keep track of threads that you would like to stay updated on, but that you are not necessarily qualified to participate in?

There is an option in the thread tools that allows you to subscribe to a thread but I've never tried it so I don't know if it work.

EDIT: It does work I've just tried. I don't know why I thought it might not. :-p

I don't think I have ever been to a forum where you can subscribe to a thread only if you have been involved in it.

It wouldn't make sense.
