I like having a notification for the first time it has a reply.  For me it is easier to keep my inbox cleaner.  That and I view the topic again after seeing there was a reply so I then see all other replies as well.  

Is there a way to set it up where you can receive an update once a day if there is new replies? Kind of like at a certain time of day send an email out for any topics that have a reply and have it say "there is x amount of replies in this conversation?" If not, having one for the first reply is perfect too.

Out of of the choices, I would prefer to get a notification for the first reply only. When I get too much email, I tend of put off reading it. Also, the emails I want to read get lost in my inbox. I have gmail and can make filters, but I can't seem to keep up. I like Dconklin idea of a daily digest of email updates.

Don't want any.
Too many e-mails from too many sources takes up too much time.

Thanks Hayden. I always wondered why I didn't get notifications on this forum. I hadn't ticked Daily Digest. I gather now I will? Is this correct?

Also what does Push Notifications mean?

Yes will work. Push is for smartphone app notifications. But don't have it setup yet
