BearMountainBooks, thanks for the info.

I don't have a personalized home page, just whatever the default is on the browser--on one computer it's Google, and though for a while I did personalize that with Google gadgets for headlines and weather and whatnot, it periodically lost all the personalization, so I gave up on it.

I have a place to add feeds from the toolbar, but I don't quite get the advantage of clicking on that instead of simply going to the page directly to check what's new. (I feel like the whole feeds thing happened when I wasn't paying attention, so now I'm clueless.)

pilotbob, I recall that when I joined I would get e-mail notifications every time a thread I'd posted in got a new message--I think that was the default--but I turned that off. Seems just as easy to come over here and look at the thread myself as to wade through e-mail.

The one thing I would like to know how to subscribe to--and I've been vaguely looking around trying to figure it out--is new books uploaded to the MR library. I see the feed option in the drop-down menu for the e-books section, but is there a way to get e-mail notifications for new books?
