Support Forum

First of all, I'm probably just being dense on this, but I'm having trouble finding a description of this functionality. What does "watching" do and what does "subscribing" do?

I figured that watching simply created a list of all the topics you watch within your profile for easier access. I also imagined that subscribing would shoot out an email whenever such a topic was updated with another post. Am I way off?

What I'm trying to accomplish is a way to automatically email the topic creator / subsequent poster to that topic of any activity in that thread. I realize this may not be possible to automate easily which is why I was attempting to accomplish this manually through subscription. I never get an email though :(. My forum is going to be used within an intranet for a very small group of people (otherwise I wouldn't even consider automating this functionality due to other hazards).

Other than that, this forum is wonderful! Thanks!

i was also wondering if it would be possible for this forum plugin on wordpress if we can add watch and subscription to not only posts or topics but also to a forum. if there be any way on this please email me on liverzen@yahoo.com.
