YesSo I have to click Watch every time I post a thread I want email alerts for?
Correct.Or click these in your Account's preferences?

I believe that will then default those checkboxes to on every time in "Create Thread" (and "Reply")

Yup, that's the experience I remember too. As I recall I turned off the email nearly straight away (email is so last decade ), and after some time I then had to re-find the option to disable the automatic thread watching, as I found myself "un-watching" every thread I replied to anyways. For me, because I'd just end up seeing the new activity in threads when I clicked on "New Posts" each time I visit the site, I didn't need the extra notification. Personally, especially if you're visiting the forum on a daily basis, I find those options to be overkill, but I suppose if you're only visiting the forum once a month, and positing content even less than that, you might find them beneficial.Wasn't it the case that that option was already checked automatically when you joined this forum? I remember having to hunt down that option at some point in time because the constant email alerts were driving me crazy.
