I'm finding that while we can subscribe to forums, it seems I only ever get the original question from a poster, not replies from others. (I am NOT referring to threads where I have chosen to reply, but all threads in a given forum. And I have confirmed
there are replies to threads where I've seen only the original post.) Not seeing the replies really diminishes the value of using email to keep up on the forum.
Now, I realize some people may not want to "flood their inboxes" with every email in a given forum they subscribe to, but for those of us who wouldn't mind, is it an option? I don't see it. The option for subscribing to a forum (onhttp://forums.asp.net/ForumSubscriptions.aspx) seems only yes or no, without any choice like "original posts" or "original posts and replies".
Curiously, I see that I have some forums I've subscribed to here where I DO see replies from others (like the LogParser forum), but many where I do not (ARR, URL Rewrite). Could it be that some forums (perhaps older ones) support this while others do not? To be clear, I am looking at the one subscriptions page for my current account, where I see "yes" next to several forums, but again for some I never see anything but the original question, never any replies.
Anyone else experiencing this? (Also, I looked for any forum here devoted to discussing the forums themselves, but could not find one.)
