By popular demand, I've added a way for you to be notified when a thread is updated even if you're not the original thread author.
The function uses "NetMind", so when you enter your address to track it, you'll see their web based form. Just submit, and hit the return button on the 2nd page to come back here.
I don't know how often their service checks the page to see if it's updated, but I would guess once or twice a day, so it isn't going to catch posts within seconds. And be forewarned - if you track a thread that ends up with 40 replies, that could be a lot of emails.
Coming in a few months we'll have a better way to do this, integrated into the forum software.
