The following appears on an email from SDMB on a thread you’ve elected to follow:

But, it’s not true…at least for me. I tend to subscribe and check the email only every day or so; on a busy thread I may have 20 or 30 ‘notices’ and I know I haven’t visited the board.

I think, at one time, this did work.

Anyone else with this problem?

Yeah, it’s a known bug. Not much we can do about it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Perhaps it will work more like it’s supposed to in future releases.
