Subscribed Threads List

So is there some functionality similar to subscribing/unsubscribing to threads ala back in atari cc? To track my ongoing conversations, I've been using "view your posts" which lists any thread I've posted in and whether there's new replies. But, if I decide I'm done with that thread, it still shows up. I foresee that list growning long and dense without the ability to eliminate things the way you could with unsubscribe. My guess is there is a way to subscribe/unusubscribe that I've not yet found. Anyone?

Hazir noted there is a bookmark option at the top of every thread. I checked it out and it looks like you can manage a list of bookmarked threads in your control panel. Oddly there's functionality to manage subscribed threads too. How do you subscribe to a thread though and what's the difference???

In your user CP there's a manage subscriptions section that looks similar to what we had at atari, but I haven't figured out how to subscribe to a forum/topic and what happens when you do so.

Bookmarking I gather is more permanent, it's a way to quickly build up a list of threads that you can refer to later if you need to.
