Is there any way we can get the "Subscribe to this forum" option back? I used to subscribe to the most read forums so I could check them at work. I don't have web access but can check email there.

There sure is... down below any given thread, there is a "Notify me when a reply is posted" check box. It looks like this:

The notify option is alot better in my opinion. We had users subscribing to forums and this was causing each reply to every forum being sent out via email. This hogged up resources and also caused alot of chaos on the mail server.. Alot of the email addresses it was sending to were not valid anymore or null. I guess you can imagine the look on my face when I check the sendmail que to find over 7,000 messages being tried for the 3rd attempt.

This option is way easier on the site
