You can subscribe to the forums and you will get a notification when a new topic is created. You can also subscribe to a topic and then choose how often you get an email sent too.
We want you to enjoy all aspects of interacting with The Foundry Community, so we will definitely listen to all your feedback and what works best for you. There's no turd polishing, cooking or any of the other phrases used in relation to turds. This is happening on Monday though and we wanted to let you know beforehand. We'll have to wait and see what happens after it's live, but we'd very much like you to hop over there next week and see what it's all about.
