you can set your user preference to automatically subscribe to threads you post in:
User CP -> Edit Options -> Default Thread Subscription Mode (although if you post in lot of threads then it will probably feel like you are spamming yourself!)

Hi -- I was reading the forum with interest re the TOS. I served in the TOS from 1965 to 1967 in the Signals. Some of my old mates and I are having 40 year reunion in November. I was anxious to trace, if possible, some TOS badges. My own were handed back in when I left 40 years ago. If I cannot get hold of any I may get a silversmith friend of mine to make up some for the reunion. To add to the sense of occasion we plan to dress up in our old shemaghes while we watch a set of nostalgic 35mm slides of us as 22 year old lads, with our old radios out in the desert -- and probably drink far too much beer!

TOS Badges
These were made by the same man, Naim Sheik Adam, who made all the TOS badges. Sadly I no longer have the gold cufflinks in the shape of crossed Khunjas which were thicker bladed than the TOS Officer's Badge.
