There are two features in the forum I find useful and want to make sure people know about them.
The first is that you can "subscribe" or track certain topics on the forum if you wish. If you go to your Profile, the last option on the upper right-hand menu list is for watching topics preferences. You can add any topics you want to track. As long as your email is included in your profile, you will receive an email each time someone posts to that particular topic. For example, I track the trail running topic so I can respond to questions and arrange car pools.
The second feature I like to use is the "private message" option. When you reply to someone on the forum, you can click on "pm." Your reply will only be visible to that one person. It is a great way to share phone numbers or addresses, so they are not posted directly on the forum.
Here's to running!!
