I’ve never used it and not sure there is one. Usually just check in if you’ve asked a question or are taking part in a conversation that interests you

EMail notifications are only supported for private messaging.

I get email notifications from threads I've started. When logged in go to settings->General Settings->Messaging and notifications->Default thread subscription mode. Select "instantly using email"

I think that's what I did, it was a while ago ;-)

The forum system doesn't always send emails out, it may do something vaguely intelligent by checking to see if you have a current session (you're logged in) perhaps. If you are logged in what would be the requirement for an email.

My last reply is not correct. I've just had an email about Peter's response, and I'm still logged in to the system.

How can I do to add my thread to the subscription folder?

I suspect this this is done automatically when a thread is started or replied to. My subscription folder reflects this.

You're right, I made that change and now I get email notifications when someone replies to a post I've participated in.

Thanks everyone for the help :)
