Thanks

Great question..

On your profile, there is a radio button down on the bottom that says:

Always notify me of replies:
Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post.

So basically, when you post to a thread, you'll be notified, via email, that someone has replied on that same thread. Then you click on a link on the email and it will take you to the thread.

This is good because you are only notified once per thread in between times you visit the board. For example, if a thread you posted on gets 15 subsequent replies since you last visited the board, you'll only get one notification email reminding you to go visit the thread at the board.

The other reason this is good is your mailbox won't be inundated with posts from members who have the propensity to over-post useless and annoying messages. These are now very easy to ignore.

You'll notice on the bottom of this box (when you are typing a post), it will ask you if you want to be notified when a reply is posted....neat, eh?

This setting will only send e-mails for the topics that one has posted to. Is there any way to receive e-mails whenever any topic is created or updated?
