How many people following a thread

[Optionpro007]

Hi Baron,

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but I think that if you show have many people have subscribed to a specific thread people will be more willing to add posts.

Just an idea.

Cheers

People will add posts if they have something to contribute, which is lacking these days on ET.

Good idea. To further your idea, Baron should put the "subscribing" link at the top of the thread instead of its current location (at the bottom) because many folks reading a thread will see a message post prior to reaching the bottom that they want to reply to.

Thus, they have no incentive to subscribe because that subscription is all the way at the bottom instead of at the top.
