Question
-
I might just be missing this overall, but how do I subscribe to a forum to receive emails when someone posts a new thread to that forum?
Thanks,

Clicking the RSS feed icon should take you to this page (for this forum anyhow)
https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whatforum/threads?outputAs=rss
The header of the page should be
Where is the Forum For…? forumYou are viewing a feed that contains
frequently updated content. When you subscribe to a feed, it is added to the
Common Feed List. Updated information from the feed is automatically downloaded
to your computer and can be viewed in Internet Explorer and other programs. Learn
more about feeds.(although much nicer looking)
Is that not what you see?
