Any way to resubscribe to threads that I've posted in?

AI Thread Summary
Users seeking to resubscribe to threads after unsubscribing can do so by posting again in the threads of interest, using phrases like "resubscribing." Instead of changing to a fake email, which can lead to account access issues, they can adjust their subscription settings to avoid email notifications. The option to change the subscription type is available in the profile settings under "Default Thread Subscription Mode," allowing users to select "No email notification." Additionally, the "Thread Tools" menu provides a direct way to subscribe to threads. It's important to note that the subscription option may not appear if already subscribed, as it will instead show an unsubscribe option.

I recently unsubscribed to all my subscribed threads because I was getting tired of the emails. I then realized that I can change my email to a fake one. Any way to resubscribe to threads that I've posted in?

post again in the ones you're interested in. just say "resubscribing" or "posting to resubscribe to this thread".

you can use the search feature to find your threads using your PF userid
 
You can change the subscription type - subscribe without getting emails.
This can be found in your https://www.physicsforums.com/profile.php?do=editoptions : "Default Thread Subscription Mode" -> "No email notification"

Please don't do that. In "thread tools", there is an option "subscribe to this thread".

Don't change your email to a fake one. You will use access to PF that way since the system will block your account until you confirmed your email.

Thanks for the tip, I looked but couldn't find it and figured it wasn't available.

I see why now, when you're in a thread you've subscribed to, then that option doesn't appear instead it shows unsubscribe.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
