You can now sign up on the right to receive the forum by email. You will get one email a day with any new topics from the previous 24 hours. The topics will be linked so you can come back to respond (at least that is how it is supposed to work!)
I am going to sign up - give it a try!

Did anyone sign up for this today beside me? Did the process go smoothly?

I signed up. The process was easy. I have not gotten any email messages yet.

Thanks - you will only get one message a day - it won't email each post. It will send new topics, overnight. We will see the results tomorrow (I hope!).

Yes - I think this is good if you are traveling, want to check what's been happening on a smart phone, etc. I know most people just want to come to the forum, but getting just the new posts in an email will definitely have some uses (I think).

So about a dozen of you have signed up for this - I think it is essential since I started getting it - really gives you the forum at a glance. There are a couple of people who have not activated so if you signed up and didn't click the link in the activation email from Feedburner/Google that is why.

I signed up for it right after you did Anthony, and to my surprise, not only do I get the new messages (posts), but I also get the pictures that are included in the posts! Great timing, since I cannot always access the internet, but I can access my e-mail!

I signed up in the hopes that the pictures would come through. Most of the photo hosting sites are blocked here at work (where I read the forum most) so I don't get to see the pictures. Unfortunately, that didn't work...

Damn Anthony-- that whole spam blocker "fill in the word you see here" was ridiculous. I could barely make it out and it didn't offer me an option to get another one to use. I just did my best and lucked out.
You may want to provide a button that allows you to get another word just in case the one provided is completely unreadable.
Just sayin...
Love the concept of this new feature!!
