How do I watch or subscribe to forums?

In order to stay notified of recent posts on a forum, the Watch option is helpful.

Note: New post notifications will be sent to the user's external/institutional email address, not via the Messages tool.

Go to Forums.

Select the Forums tool from the Tool Menu of your site.

Click Watch.

Choose your notification preference.

Select whether an email is desired for whenever a new message is posted on the Forum, for every new message posted on a conversation that the user has contributed to, or to simply turn off all notifications

Click Save.
