Due to overwhelming suggestion I have added the ability to include the FULL message from the forum in the email that goes to you when a new topic or reply is made to a forum, topic or post you are watching is updated.

This new feature is ON by default and if you hate it you can turn it off. Go to: vbmwmo_notifications.php to make changes to your notification setting.

I am also now working on a new "digest" function that will send email on a selected basis. I am working on that right after I am done with cleaning everything up.

A: To subscribe to a specific topic that you have NOT posted to, click nect to the Wrench Icon and then click on "Subscribe Topic".
