Watch vs. Notify

[anastis]

What's the difference?
I've read the newbies faq, i've read the help section, but I still can't quite figure out the difference.

Furthermore, i'm not getting any notification emails, even though I've selected that I want to be notified when I reply.
Plus, I've made sure that I've "watched" and "notified" the thread.

If this helps any, I know that watch means that if anyone replies to the thread after you watch it, it will show up in your watchlist (top of the page) and you can view the new responses

Check your spam folder, they've been getting flagged as spam for some reason. Mark it as not spam and it shouldn't filter them out anymore.

Watch will add it to the watchlist, the link at the top by your profile picture, so you can keep up on threads without posting in them.

Indeed, the emails were spammed. Silly me, never thought to check.

So, in effect, they are the same thing, only notify sends email and watch keeps notifications on-site... right?

Yeah, sounds right.
