There are certain articles I have a particular interest in on mylot and I would like to know when they are occurring. I set up a (free) Google Alert that included the text mylot and my topic of interest. Its been working great, usually sending me an email with an hour or two of the discussion starting. Cheers.

Sureky it would be quicker if you added the interests that you prefer? then when a new topic is posted you will see the icon appear at the top of the page, if you are here, or you can check the discussions from your interests on your home page and in the drop-down menu.

Oh, I do like that idea. But this informs me when I am not on mylot, and I search for specific phrases across all subjects. I'll do both!

If you also add friends that have the same interests, you will receive a notifier when they start a new topic. You will have so many topics to particpate that you won't know what hit you!

Thats a neat trick and thanks. Problem is, I dont read half of all the email I receive and have all alerts turned off! Not on mylot much these days so when I am, I use the tip Mysd suggested. Besides, I pretty much hangout right here in MEM.
