Yeah I have the same problem.
I never bother to check the email box, unless its a thread I started and its somehow important.
But for the threads that I do check the box for, it always surprises me how long a thread is active for -- I only ever to remember to check the most current threads.
This means that potentially there is a whole bunch of posts etc that I haven't seen/haven't responded to.....
Its certainly slightly tricky keeping up! It would be alright if, say, you stuck to one board or something, but I'm scattered around all over the place!
Oh well.
I've thought to bring this up, but never got round to it. Thanks Declan for bringing it up...
Any suggestions about what to do??
Perhaps we could have a checkbox installed that had some kind of filter - for instance, it only emailed when there had been one new post to a thread, but not email for every single post to that thread.... if you see what I mean. So for each thread, there would be only one email/day reminding you to check that thread in that day even if there were a billion posts to it....it would avoid alot of chuttering emails that way. Would that be easy to do I wonder?
Kind regardsMeri
