I know what it means to be subscribed to a thread. But I haven't seen anything happen as a result of being subscribed to four of the forums since the day I joined.

What's supposed to happen?

On a very related note, is there a way to receive an e-mail notification whenever any new post is made to a forum, regardless of whether it is a thread you are subscribed to, a new thread or a thread that you are not subscribed to - although it might be nice to be able to suppress this last one.

In fact, if we simply received an e-mail notification whenever a new thread is started in a forum we are subscribed to that would be wonderful. In particular, it would help us respond more rapidly to new members in the two Introduction forums.

Thanks a lot!
