You can always read and search the forums, but it can be helpful to receive e-mail notifications of new postings. This option is only available if you have registered and logged in.
The organization of the site has three levels: Biomch-L has 12 forums (currently), each forum has multiple threads, and each thread has multiple postings. You can subscribe to e-mail notifications for forums and threads.
If you enter a forum or thread, and you see a button "+SUBSCRIBE", this means that you are not currently subscribed to receive notifications of new postings. To subscribe, simply click the button. The button then changes to "SUBSCRIBED". If you move the cursor on the button, it will say "UNSUBSCRIBE", indicating that you will be unsubscribed if you click.
I would recommend to go into each forum that you want to keep an eye on, and click the +SUBSCRIBE button. This is definitely recommended for the Literature Update forum!
Notifications may currently go to your Biomch-L inbox, rather than e-mail. To turn on e-mail notifications, click on your user profile pull-down menu (top right of the page) and select "User Settings". In the Notifications tab, you can turn on e-mail notifications, and you can choose how frequently you want to be notified. While you are there, it is also a good idea to select "subscribe when posting", which subscribes you automatically to the thread when you post something.
For e-mail notifications to work, make sure your Biomch-L account has your current e-mail address. This is in the Account tab on User Settings.
If you are unable to log in, and your account does not have a working e-mail address to receive a password reset, use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page and request a password reset.
