Members may watch specific topics, by clicking the unwatched   icon. Topics that are watched will display the watching   icon.

Once the member is watching a topic, automatic notifications will be sent to them when:

• A comment is posted to the topic
• A reply has been made to a comment that has been posted to that topic

The notifications are sent based on the member's contact preferences. When you select to watch a topic, if you have not yet picked to have notifications sent, preferences for forum notifications will be selected for you and you do not have to do this as an extra step. See Set Preferences for Forum Notifications for details.
