I've been asked many times about email notifications whenever a new message appears in any given thread. Seems I was living under a rock, as I thought that ProBoards couldn't/didn't do that. I was wrong. 
Newer member andywelsh pointed out that if you bookmark a topic, you can go to your Profile screen, and click on "Bookmarks". At that point, you'll see one of two things..... if you have no bookmarks, you'll get a line of text that is obviously a link, with the words "Click here to manage your bookmarks preferences." (Yeah, I know, but they're in California, that should be explanation enough.
) If you do have bookmarks, then you'll see a list of them, with a link in the upper-right corner of that list, saying "Manage Bookmarks".
In both cases, you can set the default behavior for notification of topic updates. (Notice that the word 'bookmark' itself is a misnomer - it's not a shortcut link as you'd expect, it's a bad way of saying "notify me when someone posts to this topic".) Additionally, if you have one or more bookmarks active, you can select the behavior for each one individually - PM, regular email, or nothing at all.
So how do you get the ball rolling? Easy! At the bottom of every thread/topic, there are a couple of links. On the left, you'll see "search" and "bookmark". (Lower case as printed on the topic page itself, don't look at me!) Hit the desired button, and you're off to the races!!
Hope you all enjoy!
