I'm at risk of missing something important posted on the Forum. (I only got to see John's Open Software post by accident.)
There's a "Watch" button, I know, for an individual thread. I use this, and depend on it. But it's only available once a thread is created.
Can I have a similar facility to notify me of the creation of a new thread? - in any discussion? The amount of traffic I see here isn't enough to swamp my inbox.
