"Notify me by e-mail when new posts are added to this thread" doesn't work.

Already started another thread about the same question, but filed under 'off-topic'. TiggerTwo pointed out that the management will more likely find this if it's under the 'feedback' category.I'm still getting the tech information, but not updates on active Discussions topics. Thanks Smorty or whoever.

Why don't I get 'discussions' emails any more?

I still get the tech news I've subscribed to, but not notices about the off-topic Discussions. And I make sure the box is checked before I hit submit, on topics I want to follow. But I haven't gotten any of those emails about new posts to my discussions...

It sure is easy to miss discussions in this new layout

There have been many discussions I don't see until a few days after the fact, and have heard many lately saying the same thing.I think the top list along the right side missing plays a big factor of that?Does ANYONE EVER follow the "Reccomended
