Is there anyway to set up a forum so I am notified just like I would with a thread? Or is there a way to make every post in a forum automatically put a message at the bottom or lock? This is a forum which won't have many threads.

Thanks.

We aren't allowed to watch forums.

then you disabled / disallowed a way to be notified when a forum has new posts...

Not sure if you are joking or not, but I can't watch a forum 24/7, but I be notified by email 24/7. No, I wouldn't get up in the middle of the night, but I could lock the post from 7 am to 9 pm. Give or take.

Just like this post. I certainly am not watching it waiting for replies. I just get notified by email. Works for me, maybe not for others.

Thanks.

Bert

Bert, review the attached screenshot. The user must be logged in, and have a valid email address, for this to work.

In addition, if the forum has RSS feeds turned on, you could add it to your RSS reader (Feedly, TTRSS, gReader...etc) and review everything at your leisure.
