Is it possible to set reply notifications for specific threads?

To save me checking back every few minutes for a reply, it would be nice to be able to turn on email notifications for a thread.

Can you imagine how many items of mail that option would generate?

Well, that's why I suggested that it might be a function that you turn on and off for individual threads. Perhaps you would only need 1 email to say that there were new post(s) rather than an email per new post.

Plenty of other forums have this functionality...

Only on your "own" threads I think, otherwise use "my stuff"

Oh, how do you do that then? confused

I do use "My Stuff" but an email notification would let me wait until there was a reply to the thread i was interested in.

Sorry, it's only when you start a thread (as far as I know) you can sign up for email notifications?
Otherwise you have to check "My Stuff" for new posts on other threads.
