    How do I subscribe to posts via email?  The thought of subscribing to an RSS feed for every forum I am in makes my stomach turn.  Email works just fine and all comes to the same place for me.  Would it be possible to have this option, like in all other forums?

    RSS is for news, not for forums.

    You can subscribe to an RSS feed for the entire forum here.
    Or, mark the topics you'd like as favorites, and subscribe to your favorites feed.

    Alternatively, you can take thee RSS feed you'd like, and plug it in to http://www.rssfwd.com/ which will forward updates to the feed to your email adrress of choice.

    Please excuse the complaint.. but your solutions make subscribing to a thread 90% more difficult for me.  In any other forum I check a box.. that's it.  For your forum I have to use an external website or client to see something I want to come to me automatically.  Or worse yet I have to go to a third party website (which I assume I will have to register for an ID on) and enter the feed manually so that it will come to me automatically.  I mean I realize RSS is the new cool thing and all but it's more difficult.

    I like a 'subscribe to email' checkbox much better.  It's so much simpler.  Can this feature not be added?
