There's a drop down menu at the top right of the thread which says thread tools - click on it, and then choose subscribe to this thread.

Woah, completely forgot about this! I would add in some things but the Edit thingy has timed out. Can a moderator add this into it please:

Susbcribing

Subscribing to a thread is when you receive email updates every time the thread has a new post etc. To do so, click on the thread tools option and select "Subscribe To Thread". Make sure your email is verified, whatever your forum account is registered to will be the email that updates are sent to.

When you click "User CP" (top left panel) you should see a list of all your subscribed threads, that have been responded to recently. If you don't, you need to edit your options to subscribe when you reply to a post so that they show here.
