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.

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.
