E-mail Notifications: Receive Every Time Until Unsubscribe?

In summary, there may be some confusion about the email notifications for subscribed threads. It seems that users should only receive one notification per reply until they visit the forum again, in order to prevent an overflowing inbox. Additionally, there is a way to communicate through personal messages in the forum without exposing email addresses, and users can set options to receive email notifications for new PMs and subscribed threads in their control panel. PMs can also refer to premenstrual syndrome, which is also known as premenstrual tension.

Sometimes I do not received an e-mail notification for a thread I am subscribed to after it gets to be several posts long.

I should receive an e-mail notification every time someone posts on a thread I am subscribed to until I unsubscribe, correct?

I think you are only supposed to get a notification once when there is a new reply to a thread, until you visit the forum again. It keeps you from having an overflowing inbox if discussion gets active before you can get back to check.

Personal messages. They are a way to communicate in-forum, without exposing your e-mail address. Left click on a user name, and sending them a PM is one of the pull-down options. Also, in the upper right corner of the screen, you will see a link to your PM mailbox. Finally, in your Control Panel, you can set options to receive e-mail notification of new PMs and of new posts in threads that you have subscribed to.
