Monitoring changes

I'm imagining that Sourceforge has facilities to auto-email you if someone makes code updates, discussion posts or generates a change request tickets.

These page offer some options, I will look into...

Monitoring

https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Monitoring

Watching

https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Activity%20watches

Wait a sec, the info there wasn't too helpful, I'm suspecting some of these facilities are out of date? Or perhaps only work for older sourceforge projects?

For example, I can't see a 'Develop' tab in this project (older projects have them). The 'Monitor' link is supposed to be on this 'Develop' tab...

This sourceforge ticket thread discusses other people's woes on this:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/3499

Perhaps the newer facility is called "Update Notifications"
* Log into sourceforge.net with your user account
* Go to: https://sourceforge.net/projects/baseditnet/
* Towards the bottom of the page, go to the "Update Notifications" section
* Click on the blue "Subscribe to Updates" button.

Hopefully that does the trick... We'll see... Shame this hasn't been as straightforward as I had hoped... Ah well, learning curves are always like this I suppose... Many frustrating moments to endure :)
