I've been receiving email updates of this thread all day:

As far as I know, only forum updates are not received by some members. Are you saying that you are not receiving threads updates also?

Thread updates work fine for me, although I only subscribe to a couple of threads by email (this one for testing purposes and the Nome Do thread for planning purposes; otherwise, trying to follow threads by email is FAR too overwhelming).
Forum updates are hit or miss (mostly miss), but I only subscribe to one forum by email (TalkBoard Topics, mostly just to remind me to check it regularly, since it's so far down the list of my subscribed forums in MyFlyerTalk), so I'm not missing much by that being gone. Besides, email updates of forum activity are kind of useless to me, because usually they'll be telling me of activity I already know about because I already visited the forum and read all of the interesting threads well before the email was sent out, so the email is just redundant and old information.

That is correct. I have not received in a long, long time the nightly forum update emails (they used to come in at 12:03 am on the dot, for years). For the thread updates I've been observing something odd: I only get update emails after I log into FT to view the specific thread. After the update email comes it, if I don't log back into FT to view the thread, I cease to receive the updates.
I'm pretty sure it's been that way for as long as I remember. Years ago, before I discovered MyFlyerTalk, I tried to keep up with FT via email (thread and forum updates--an impossible task, IMHO). The thread email updates were always only a single update regardless of the number of posts made in the thread, for as long as I recall.
