Is it possible to receive email each time a message is posted to the forum?

In my profile, under Notifications and Email, it suggests that I can click the "notify" button in various places on the forum to receive email notifications about new posts.  Unfortunately, I don't see a "notify" button anywhere.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

OMG, you're kidding, right ?   Do you plan on reinventing NNTP or something Smiley  ?

For others looking to do the same thing.  I ended up using rss2email.  This forum's RSS feed only includes the first couple paragraphs of each post, but I've found it enough content to know which posts I want to read directly on the forum and which can be muted.

Could I ask why this forum does not support email notifications?  Is this something that the mods would be willing to turn on?  I would even consider paying you a few btc to do it Wink.

It might be worth removing language on the site about notifications, just in case others were looking as I was.

It looks like the forum's RSS support is decent, so I'll try monitoring it with a feed reader.

Thanks for the info.
