I'm a recent new member of this forum, and discovered that one is unable to receive copies of all postings in a given forum (like you would in a discussion list, or Yahoo! forums, etc.), but rather only e-mail notification of responses within specific threads in a forum.
Could someone please explain to me then the function of the link option to "Subscribe to this Forum" which appears at the top right of the forum indices? Since the forum software doesn't e-mail you (either individually or in digest forum) all new posts within a given forum, what exactly does it accomplish then to "subscribe" to a forum? Thanks in advance.
