This is what I understand subscriptions ard cookies are computer software terms. They are about how logging in and how all websites works. They aren't sitch terms or specific to this website. You will often see pop up messages "accept cookies" if it's a board I trust I say yes as it helps the process of viewing smoother and easier. Pop ups are different they can involve ads and I generally say "no, no, no" to those.

Please be aware this is how I understand it I am sure a computer knowledgeable poster will comment if I haven't got this right. Subscriptions are the messages and terms you agree to when you sign up to a web site, for example to receive emails, messages, to behave according to the board rules etc. they are about you and the things you agree to, often mandatory if you want to use that site or board.

Cookies are different they are about the communication between your computer and the web site, they include logins, tracking your use, the way the site is viewed etc. This is both good and bad, it helps make manageable later visits easier administratively but they remain as files on your computer for next time. If you think you are at risk of being tracked then you may want to clear your login history on your web browser (safari on iPads, macs etc) or internet Explorer etc on a PC. Google clear my browsing history name of browser to discover.

Joe is right, the weekend is slow for posting. You may find until you reach thread 2 or 3 posters won't post as they often want to know you will stay around for awhile.

Settle in, read your DB when it arrives, explore Cadets links and absorb, keep posting. When you get to be an experienced poster look back and see this place, it is your beginning of patience. I am not sure if you are off moderation yet as that slooooooows thing down, although I suspect you are. Toots is right you will find your tribe by posting to others.

Joe is excellent as a support, if he is going to check in on you he will.
