I received this error.  Is there something I need to do to the subscribes table?  This happened when I was not working on the site or doing upgrades -- can you confirm that this is an upgrade and not malicious?  Thanks!

WordPress database error Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes for query ALTER TABLE `td_wpforo_subscribes` ADD UNIQUE KEY `fld_group_unq`( `itemid`, `type`, `userid`, `user_email` ) made by require_once('wp-load.php'), require_once('wp-config.php'), require_once('wp-settings.php'), do_action('wp_loaded'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, call_user_func_array, wpforo_update, wpforo_activation

As I've already mentioned you can ignore this error. This is a one time error. This says one index in subscription table is not created. It's just an extra key for more convenient data storing, and it doesn't affect any function so you can forget about that without any worry.

Can you do me a favor ? Does Subscribe to a Topic works for you (in your site i mean) ?

Yes, it does.  I haven't had any issues with that functionality.
