In order to get the most out of the forums, and enable community blah-de-blah, there is a rather handy feature where you can subscribe to a forum. You can choose which of these forums to subscribe to, for ex. you are only interested in "All Grain", "Equipment", and "High Gravity Recipes", but aren't too interested in "Lagers" at the moment (making them at least).
What the benefit of subscribing is, is when someone posts to a forum, you will be notified via email that someone posted to that forum. And to keep your inbox from getting flooded, it only emails you that one time, even if there are a flurry of posts to that topic, until you actually go read it. Then that will reset the email notification for the next time someone posts.
To subscribe, find a forum you are interested in, and scroll all the way to the bottom. You will see a "Subscribe Forum" link. Click on it. That's it - you just subscribed to that forum. You have to be logged in of course for it to work.
So, hopefully we'll get a little more action on these forums. And if you post something, you'll have a better chance of someone reading your posts!
Thanks,
Chris.
