Get notifications on your desktop when there is forum activity. This can be set in your preferences:
Looks like I will ALWAYS know what’s going on . . . Not sure if that’s a good thing yet. #Lurker

I really like the feature of getting notifications on my desktop. I often join different forums and then sort of forget about them. Getting notifications reminds me that I am a member of the forum and alerts me to current activity. It keeps me in the information loop and an active member.

I’m liking this because I just got a desktop notification from your post about desktop notifications 
I just received your notification also. I am liking this a lot. I am working in the Richfield District and feel connected to 287 at the same time!

I’m not sure that mine are working as intended, or maybe I’m misunderstanding how they are supposed to work. I seem to get them sometimes but not often.
Maybe you don’t get them if you have the forum open in a browser window?
I receive two different type of desktop notifications; reply notifications and summary notifications. The reply notification is an immediate desktop notification of a reply to a comment I posted. The summary notification is a once or twice a week notification of forum activity that has happen over a period of time. Both types of notifications are helpful and valuable to me. Really liking it!!
Ah. I see now. Apparently it doesn’t notify you if you have the forum open or have been on in the last 10 minutes. That explains why I don’t get them so often. I usually have a tab open with the forum in it.
