Or, I could just re-post the info here since it's buried back a few pages and years. The feature you want to use instead is Notifications.
Bookmark this link and use it as your homepage for the forum:
https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/profile/?area=notificationOn that page, you'll see a box full of settings, use the following settings:
☐ Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email.
☑ Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic.
☐ When sending notification of a reply to a topic, send the post in the email (but please don't reply to these emails.)
For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me: [Instantly ▼]
For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me of: [Nothing at all ▼]
[Save settings]
Then press the
[Save settings] button under it and to the right. This page will show you all the forum threads you've either posted to (after setting this up) or pressed the
[NOTIFY] button at the top and bottom of each thread next to the
[REPLY] button without sending you summary journals to your email of every new post to the threads you're watching. New posts will float to the top of that list chronologically, and clicking the tiny orange
[NEW] label will take you the first new post in that thread since you last read it. Once you're finished following it, just ☑ tick the box next to that thread in the list and press
[Unnotify].
Happy reading.
