I'm just letting you know that we just introduced a new forum feature that will allow you to follow and track all new posts in threads that you're interested in. You can find the new button in every thread.
You can track all the followed threads on the forum home page. Once you start following any thread, a new tab will appear on the forum homepage (only for registered users). You currently automatically follow any there where you add a post/reply, but this will be changed very soon.
We'll give you an option to follow automatically only threads that you created / any threads where you added a post / no threads.
I'd also like to highlight that you'll receive forum web notifications and e-mail notification about your followed threads, but if it's too disturbing for you, you can always change the settings in your forum Profile - E-mail settings.
By the way, you can unfollow any thread right from the forum homepage by clicking on this button:
