"Watch Thread" Option
Is there no option anymore to "watch thread" and get alerts for every new post? I know that option used to exist, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Give me about 5 minutes after a post, I'll probably edit it a bit before it is finalized.

Re: "Watch Thread" Option
With the free hosting we're using there is a very low limit on the number of emails that the board can send out per day (50, IIRC). So the feature that you're inquiring about was disabled by the admins (Rider, specifically) as it is ridiculously easy to exceed that limit.

You can't get emails but you can get notifications. In the forum you click on the options symbol and bookmark the topic. This will create a message every time a new post is made. We'll some times it create only one of multiple pairs are made in the same topic but it does notify you.

What's the difference between a subscription and a notification, in terms of emails sent? Don't they both send an email (just one provides more content than the other), and isn't too many emails still a problem? I thought that we had all outbound emails, except those for registration, disabled?

Re: "Watch Thread" Option
I still get emails from threads that used the old term for following the thread, but not for the new ones I've bookmarked.

Re: "Watch Thread" Option
all emails except for outbound registratons are disabled. None should be going out. Notifications simply appear at the top left of the screen. Subscriptions send emails. that is the difference.
Ill have to look into why doc is receiving emails, he shouldn't be receiving any at all.
