New forum email notification of updates to subscribed threads methodology?

[Mike]

This is almost embarrassing to mention, but has anyone else noticed that threads they subscribe to by adding a comment, aren't sending out the instant email notifications, when someone else adds a comment? Except for the very next comment after your latest post (it seems?)?
I just noticed this message at the bottom of the email notification I received advising me of Davydd's update to the battery suggestion post. I hadn't noticed them before......however, I also wasn't aware that the thread update notification rules have changed.

There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

Does anyone else think the old method was better at keeping up your interest in a particular topic, by notifying you in real time of any and all new comments to a subscribed thread, until you choose to unsubscribe? To be honest, I normally don't always think of going to the forum to see what's new. Maybe it's just me.
What do others think?
