How do I watch or follow a thread so I get an email when someone responds? I
can't find this setting anywhere.

Sad, indeed. Overall, I love this site, and I get annoyed when people complain
that it's hard to use or has an outdated design. But the Forum really is
functionally lacking. In addition to the ability to subscribe to threads, it
would be a VAST improvement if it simply allowed you to filter on unread messages.
That way you would still pick up replies to threads that have died down for a
day or two, instead of having to constantly go back and search through pages
of thread trying to spot new replies interleaved in the conversation.

As a secondary priority, I'd love to see a system of upvoting so that significant
contributions of interest can be discovered and recognized.

If I were the God of BrickLink, Forum improvements would the very first thing
on my To Do list.

Bookmark the page and look for responses once in a while.
