Post #1I would like to participate more on the forums but I'm not sure how to get notifications the way I need it. I'm not sure if it's possible to do what I want. I decided to "watch" certain subforums but it looks like I'm going to get a notification for every reply on every post. When watching a subforum, I really only want to know about new TOPICs, not every little reply. Is this possible? Or can it be a new feature?

Awesome! Be sure to let me know when it's updated! Thanks! Btw, is it currently going to alert me for every reply or just the first reply of things I haven't yet received a notification for?

I'm noticing that for topics that I'm participating in, I seem to only get notified of the first response after me. If I don't respond again, I don't ever get alerted again. So conversations go on without me knowing simply because I didn't wish to respond to the most immediate post after me. When watching a whole subforum I got alerted for every single stinkin' reply on every single thread. I want that but only for the threads I'm participating in. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting somewhere?

There is now two options in the lower left of a subforum:
Watch this subforum for new topics
Watch this subforum for all posts
Let me know if there are any issues with it.
Also, I fixed the Twitter feed. I had to upgrade to the 1.1 API.
This feed will have a list of all new topics:

Now there's two ways to subscribe to a topic.ElCodeMonkey wrote: I'm noticing that for topics that I'm participating in, I seem to only get notified of the first response after me.

The default way is to only send you one notification until you post in that thread.
The second way is to receive a notification for every reply made in that thread. In the lower left, click on "Notify all post replies in topic".
I've also added a way to unsubscribe from all post notifications.
