We used to be able to subscribe to individual forums -- now we can't. So now anything posted in the news forum won't get emailed to us unless we check it every day and most likely many times a day.
Anyway to get that back?
Yes. It's coming soon. I'm working on it as we speak. I agree that it's pretty much a vital feature. Joomla people have a bad habit of putting smileys in *before* implementing really important stuff. As far as I'm concerned notifications are absolutely the most vital thing a forum can do. ;-)
In the meantime, the RSS feeds actually do work! (Unlike on the old site, where they never updated.)

Pfft I can do without smileys.... useless crap. Nice to know about the RSS feeds but not always at home to read them hince why the subscribe to forum was better so I could get the emails.
Yeah, I agree. I tried to strip out the smileys entirely, but it's all hardcoded in. They'll go away eventually, when I have time.
Anyway, now that the bug tracker username problem has (maybe) been fixed, I'm freed up to work on other big issues, and notifications is definitely high on the list. You can expect it within a day or two.
