there used to be a box to click when posting named watch this thread that if clicked would inform you when someone responded to you reply, and i think at every thread called watch this space. have these been removed?

Look up. See where it says "Notify" with the littel orange flag. Thats is. You can also get entire forums by doing the same thing from the forum home page. To receive an email digest of all the new posts at the Global Yeshiva go to - my space/notifications/forums/all forums. Click edit and Choose Your Delivery Preferences. I hope this helps.
