Sure, that works for not receiving email updates.
I meant this to make it easier to find new threads, not simply stay current with threads I've already read.
One effect of this is I would be able to look at the Technical Forums (
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=50) and tell if there's any NEW threads in each forum, or if the new posts are just threads I've decided to stop watching.
