SC Tip: How to get email notifications if someone comments on a thread
Many of us don't want emails for threads we leave comments on or subscribe to (see screenshot below) but occasionally we do. For example you post locally for your city "does anyone know what store the Vector cereal has the boxes with banana coupons on it?" - if someone answers you want to know asap.
Or if you love emails or a daily digest, then this tip if for you.
Note: There are other ways to keep on top of subscribed threads without emails. Remember this tip: SC Tip: How to get email notifications if someone comments on a thread
When you post in a thread you are automatically "subscribed" just by posting. You won't necessarily get an email -- it'll depend on your global settings.
You probably don't want every thread to email you ... you'll be swamped.
Here's how to get an email notice when a thread that you really want to watch such as this one:
Step 1. Look for the Thread Tools link on the upper right burgundy line menu.

Step 2: The default will be: no email notification (most likely) and a folder called Subscriptions (you can add extra folders ... hold on to this idea because it'll be useful down the road when we explain some power user tips)
