I get a small fraction of notifications for threads I am subscribed to. No idea why. Really stinks. Might move over to that "other" forum for this reason alone (though Wiki posts might keep me here, if they ever roll that out for all forums... FT moves slower than a Fortune 500 company innovates...)
Yes, I still get notifications of about 10% of the threads I'm subscribed to. I don't want any, but it's not enough to bother me.
