Subscriptions don't work & disappearing buttons
It’s crappy, but a workaround that works for me (at least until they fix these issues) is to reply to the thread, which causes the buttons to become visible – then edit and add the quote…
1. When I click subscribe to a thread, nothing happens. I don’t want to receive emails about threads I posted it, but instead a list of threads I’m subscribed to should be in my forum profile so I can easily access them.
Probably my most desired feature for this forum, especially for build threads, since they tend to involve lots of updates. Replying to this one to voice support.
2. Sometimes the reply, flag and other buttons just aren’t visible on a thread. When this happens the only thing visible is the permalink button. Which can be really frustrating when you want to quote someone & reply to them.
What’s mentioned above (post/edit) works for me, but it seems I only need to do so once, and then it appears all the time. For this problem, it may be most beneficial to list what browser you’re using, just to give the devs as much information as possible.
In my case, I’m the odd-man out, using Opera 12.02!

When I see a thread that doesn’t have reply, I do two things:
1. I check the URL: If there’s anything after the title of the thread in the URL, I remove that part and reload the page,.
2. If there’s nothing wrong with the URL, I force refresh the page.
The reply button (and the other four buttons to the right of each post) all then show up for me.
