so i think there should be a sort of alerts page or something so when somebody posts something on your thread it will ad an alert or on the side of the screen it will say ... posted on your thread: (whatever it's called)
In the closed beta there was an alert when you got a message (it was just a number), but if they apply this to the forums it should have an on/off switch. I've made two forum games and they get several posts a day, I wouldn't want to be informed of this.
