E-mail Notifications

[Dunn, Son of Absalom]

I was wondering if there is a setting that I am missing somewhere that allows the site to notify us of new posts to our PbP games via e-mail. Is this an option now or is it possible for the future?

Not via e-mail, but you can subscribe via RSS.

What is RSS?

[Andrew Betts]

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's used by the little orange icon in the upper right of the thread. There are a number of RSS readers out there. I prefer to use Google Reader.

If you use FireFox, I believe there is built-in RSS functionality. If you use Chrome, I highly recommend RSS Live Links. It plays a little sound and gives you a visual indicator next to the address bar of how many threads have new replies. Then you can just click on the icon and go to that spot in your PbP.
