    TIP: Use e-mail notification

    If you're in a particular hurry for an answer, or simply want a reminder to check back, check the "Email Notification" box. You'll get an email anytime someone replies to your post.

    You can even be notified for replies to posts you didn't make. Just click on the "Receive Updates to this Thread" link at the bottom of every thread.

    If your post turns out to be way too popular, you can turn off notification in your User CP (control panel).

    Your email address here is not visible to any spambot or search spider unless you post it in a message, so this tip is simply "don't put your email address in a forum post".

    If you invite users to email you, they can get your email address easily enough by clicking "profile"...

    I don't care if anyone posts their email address in a thread, but everyone should be aware that this site (as are all sites) is patrolled regularly by searchbots. Most of these are benign, but some of them are looking for email addresses to sell to spammers.

    If you'd rather not feed the...

    Did you know you could subscribe to individual forums and get daily or weekly summaries of what posts were made? You can't reply via email, but it's still pretty handy.

    If there is any thread you're particularly interested in (like one you started) you can click "Receive updates to this thread" and you'll get an email anytime someone posts in that thread. This is also known as 'subscribing' to a thread.

    The email has a link that will take you...
