How do we follow a thread now?

According to another thread they were being sent out once a day, not instantaneously. I have just pressed to follow this thread, so will see what happens. 

Well certainly not anything like instantaneous. Almost 1 hour and 20 mins and nothing yet.

Email arrived at 13:03, complete with advert for Lexus.

So just about 2 hours.

I don't usually follow threads as I always scan through all the sections. However yesterday I did follow a discussion I started and despite several replies within hours. I only got an e-mail about an hour ago. I would have thought that you should get an automatic response immediately someone else makes a post otherwise I can't really see the use of the function?

I agree David it needs to be immediate to be of any use. I have only had the one reply at 13:03 despite doing 3 posts, and of course now there is yours. So perhaps it is daily and I will have to wait till 1pm tomorrow for the others.

Yes I got an email from the club yesterday afternoon, the first I have received in the past week despite following 3 or 4 discussions.  I have not had one since and checking on the threads there have been quite a few replies.  A waste of time in my opinion.

No more emails today, so it looks as though the one I recieved is a fluke.

I have never used the email sytem of following a thread, it usually means more junk email and I get enough of that. I used to use the last five posted by myself to go to a thread and the "new" indicators. I suppose if you don't log on frequently then using email notifications might help follow a topic otherwise I cannot see they are of a great help.

Same with me. And although the post show a number of new posts there are many more responses since I last looked at the site than the number of new ones shown. Can't get my head around some of the foibles of the site at present.

Just recieved an email about your post Nellie. It arrived at 13:03 today. Only six days so not to bad.😉
