Click on the More Options at the bottom of the list of topics.  You will find a way to set up an email notification when someone posts to that topic.

I am confused about one thing, though.  The same options are presented for our inboxes, but the only button there is Apply (Temporarily).  I would really rather Apply this feature indefinitely.  I wonder why there is only the one option?  Maybe Marty just hasn't had a chance to finish this one yet.

Thanks Free Spirit for the tip. Wondered what that was all about.  I'll give it a try.

Correct, there ARE things missing.

Many features were lopped-off to make the forums fit the look and feel of our site.  Turns out it was a bad call to make.  The forums will be reconfigured with many more features as soon as we can.  The size will be larger (width) but that is what it will take to add back the cool stuff.

Stay tuned...

Eh....not really a bad call.  Hard to know what is and is not needed until you release it and see what people do with it.

Although I was excited to find the email notification, on further reflection I had mixed feelings.  On a site with little to moderate traffic, it's cool to get the notifications, otherwise you tend to forget to check.  On a site like this one (not exactly low traffic, lol), I wonder if my inbox not might get overloaded.

If I had my druthers, I'd much rather get an email notification when one of "my" soldiers posted an update than a notification of a new post to this forum.

Well no problen - didn't get around to trying it.   But Thanks for the info anway.  I'm still trying to keep up with you techno wizzes (and sure having fun doing it).
