That's not the case for any forums I've been a member of. All without exception have the ability to email you when something in a subject your interested in changes. You can set a setting in your preferences so that if you contribute you will always be told of new contributions. And even if you don't post you can still mark anything your interested in as being "watched" so that you get emails when something changed.<BR>

Maybe you've you used some quite old forum engines ? I've not seen anything that didn't inform you in at least 6 or 7 years.<BR><br /><hr />News, Sports, Entertainment and Weather on your mobile. <a href='http://mobile.uk.msn.com/pc/msn_content.aspx' target='_new'>Text MSN to 63463 Now.</a></body>
