meybe you have noticed that the "Notify me via email" funktion is disabled when you write a new topic/post..
I replaced this with a new function.. you find it right now when you read this topic here on the upper right where there ist the "new topic" and the "reply to topic" link..
there you see a new "subscribe topic" link.
use this to get notified when new answers are postet..
above the "shop" link there is "my subscriptions".. a list of all of your subscribed topics..
