Specifically, status starts with 0, and after the subscriber is notified of some changes, status is set to 1 so that the subscriber will no longer be notified of further changes. The subscriber may perform some action, e.g. visit the subscribed forum topic or wiki page, to reset the status back to 0. Last edited by cysun at 22:09 May 21, 2010.
