No email updates from the forum?

Does this forum not send updates for topic replies at the current moment in time? I have it set to do so in my account settings, but I cannot see a link to subscribe to a thread. Any help appreciated.

It's intentionally disabled. Each topic does have an RSS feed, though.

Okays good to know thanks. Is there any reason for it been disabled? I'll look into the RSS feeds.

Bitcoin.org was being seen as a spam source, so notifications were disabled to reduce outgoing mail.

I posted about a solution that's working for me in another thread: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2115.msg28209#msg28209

Incidentally, receiving an email for every post to the forum has worked well for me for the last 3 months.  When a thread gets off topic, I just mute it in GMail.  Priority Inbox helps further tame the fire hose

Hmm... I could have sworn each topic had an individual RSS feed. Guess not.
