I would like to be notified when a new post is made to an existing thread. Is there anyway to do that? thanks!

Not a 'notification' AFAIK. But a short cut to avoid having to open every thread . . . If you click on your name -- all threads that have new activity since the last time you opened them will be highlighted - the one w/o new posts will have grayed out titles.

Thanks, janisj, I know that. I wondered if like TA and other boards, they could notify u via email or RSS to a new post to a thread if u indicated your interest. That and some form of private messaging would sure be nice to have.

It looks like there is... But, it's odd that at least firefox doesn't seem to show that there is. Basically, go to the URL and change the cfm to an xml, and it becomes the "atom feed" for that post.

Hm. Or is it just that firefox doesn't do that anymore? (Clearly show RSS feeds in the title bar... Hm.)

I've noticed today, the post headings don't change the color.

Before you could tell if you've opened the post already, it would change the color to grey (?) and if somebody posts something it would go back to blue.

Not happening today.
