My 2 favorite fora allow you to subscribe to interesting threads, and
auto-subscribe you to a thread in which you've posted. This lets me see
when something's posted that I probalby want to read, without telling me
every time a post is made to the forum in general.
They also allow you to *revoke* those thread subscriptions, which is
at least as useful. :D

If they work for you, more power to ya. :-)

This is my problem with fora in general. I prefer E-mail, the original
"push medium."
Yes. Web fora generally suck. Many forums will send out an email to let
you know of a posting in a forum you are subscribed to.
...which is what makes them even approach "usable" for me. :)
