How To Add Email Notifications
When on the thread that you'd like to receive notifications of new posts on, click on the options link and choose subscribe.
Now you need to change the subscription to an email one.
Click on edit my preferences > notifications > subscriptions.
Now click on edit under the operations column on the subscription you'd like to get email notifications of.
In the send method drop down, choose HTML Mail.
Now click save subscription. You're done. You'll now get an email any time there is a reply to the thread.

It said I was successful - fingers crossed. I feel victorious at the moment since that's about the only thing I've been able to change/edit in my settings so far. :)
Question - will there be some sort of auto-subscribe feature on threads you've replied on or will you have to go through this manually for each thread you participate in? I'm hoping the answer is yes. LOL
Thanks,
Kim
Yay!! It worked!

YaY! Some are working!
Some are being displayed in a weird format.
A good step I think/hope :)
Erin, will we need to subscribe thread by thread or will we be able to subscribe to all activity within a folder (like it used to be)??
Okay, it did work - I got notified of my own comment (LOL), and the next, but nothing since then (even though there were a couple more responses).
I set it to send email, and "immediately", and hit "activate" - am I missing a setting or is the system just running slow?
Kim
didn't get this one but maybe eventually I will,
How/where did you see to set it to send email & Immediately*?
Thanks :)
Okay, so...when I tried to do what Erin said, I had to do it a bit differently.
I couldn't do edit notification settings (maybe because I can't change ANY of my settings - GRRR), so I tried "administer your subscriptons" instead, and that seemed to work.
So, administer your subscriptions, then I did what Erin said, did the edit, set it to email, and then where it says "update options", I set it to "change send interval to immediately" and then hit "update".
I don't know if it is set correctly or not - and they're still coming in bunches, with a delay, but that was what worked for me, so far at least.

Did try that but not sure it worked for me,
Too many problems getting here tonight,
Let's hope tomorrow is better for all of us :)
I set up several threads on my board for email notifications yesterday, and this morning there was a new post. But no notification.
So I went in and now changed them all to immediately. Hopefully that will work.

Why are some posts changing names to *content post* where you go into edit/notifications?
Looks like after one edits to *html email* .. they don't always stick?
