AI Thread Summary
Users receive email notifications for replies to threads they are subscribed to, which typically includes any thread they have posted in. If notifications are not being received, it's advised to check the "Default Thread Subscription Mode" in the profile settings. There is some uncertainty about whether the default settings have changed over time. Some users recall receiving notifications automatically upon signing up, while others suggest that settings may vary. Ensuring proper notification settings can help users stay updated on their posts.

Hi Synchronised! :smile:

You receive an email notification whenever anyone posts in a thread you've subscribed to.

You should be automatically subscribed to any thread you've posted in …

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia.
