The forum hasn't changed at all. It's been there for many years & there is one way to find out what these things do -- click them.

Never Noticed it  :P

The below message is what I get..

Notification  

There are no topics with Notification marked!



So is it for mods/admins only?

Note that there's a "Notify of replies" option when you reply to a topic. I suspect it might have something to do with that. I shall click the option for this reply & try it. ;)

PS. Tried it.

it will send you an email telling you some one replyed to your topic or post.

and the notification options lets you cancel them

That might be so in theory but I haven't received an e-mail. That was one reason I tried it.

Your image is wider than 800 pixels. BTW :P

I think it sends the notification to that button. As in press it in the morning and it notifies you of any threads you want to be told about. I don't think I've ever used it.

No, it's supposed to notify you by e-mail. There's been 3 replies since I clicked the option & I haven't received one yet. It used to work but I don't think it's done so for a long time.
