Are you sure you have clicked on the "follow this discussion" tab at the top of each thread you want to follow? You have to be logged in to do this!
Also, if a thread is closed, not sure if this still works, so best check thread is still open. If it is a lively discussion, you will get pings every few minutes! So much so, that I never press "follow"!

Do you know whether there are new posts in the discussion you are interested in? I think there may have been a problem recently with this function but I thought it had been resolved. Could you try a different discussion to see if that works so we can narrow it down?

Thank you for your interest and desire to help, it is appreciated.
The ‘Follow this Discussion’ tab is set on more than one discussion and was working OK until today.
None of the discussions are marked closed.
Yes! new posts have been made in these discussions including this particular one and that is definitely set to ‘Follow this discussion’ but I have had to trawl to see your further posts.
I have already tried different discussions that have also had further posts added, but to no avail.
If it’s a Forum glitch then I am sure it will be sorted but it’s odd that others don’t seem to be having this problem.

I don't use this feature and suspect some others on CT don't either. I did at first, but found I was getting so many emails, I couldn't see the wood for the trees so to speak. So I stopped using it; I just have a look at posts which I've contributed to and any new ones which interest me; if you log on again all threads will show, in red, how many new posts in a particular thread have been posted since your previous log on. I find that a useful feature to see if there are any new posts in a thread I'm interested in.

JCB, I used it on this thread O/night to check it, there have been 3posts since I looked in yesterday, I got no alerts at all. From my point of view-it ain't working for me. PS-I have used it in the past to good effect so I know it's worked at some point.
