At the bottom left corner is a link, "watch this topic for replies" which now entitles you to emails whenever someone replies. Like I just did.

Isn`t that the dialog box that confirms an e-mail will be sent when a reply to the topic is made? Rather inocuous, but a program confirmation is all it is.

The "watch this topic for replies" doesn't seem to work for me. My email address in my profile is correct, am I doing something wrong or does anyone else have this issue? I should receive an email when someone replies to the topic I'm watching, correct?

Also, is it possible to receive email notification when I get a PM?

Yes, correct.

It used to work all the time for me, and then at some point I noticed I was no longer getting any notifications. I made a special point of testing it with an active thread, and I still got no e-mails. I checked my "spam" inbox also, of course. So I thought maybe my dumbass AOL account was blocking the notifications and not even putting them in "spam," so I switched my profile to use my gmail account, and I still get nothing.

Something is wrong with the notification system, and I see now that it's not just in my case.
